I am currently in the grips of a cruel and totally disgusting stomach bug so this post will be brief.
Last week I saw a post from Cyndi of Cookin' With Cyndi that she was designating Thursdays as a day to cook a soup or stew for dinner and invited us all to join in. I think this is an excellent idea. I love soup but we don't eat it a lot - it always seems to be a last resort meal in our house. Thankfully I made this soup before I got sick so I can still take part.
So here's my contribution to Cyndi's first week of Thursday Soup or Stew.
Curried Cauliflower Soup
1 tb olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets (about 4 cups)
1 small red potato, chopped
5 cups vegetable stock
Heat the oil and saute the onion until soft and starting to color. Add the spices and give a quick stir. Add the cauliflower, potato and stock. Stir well, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until veggies are tender, 15 minutes or so. Remove from heat. Using a blender, food processor or stick blender, puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
I garnished Scott's bowl with mozzarella cheese and green onions and my bowl with smoked paprika and green onions. Both were equally yummy.
Thanks Cyndi, I hope this becomes a weekly affair! Think of all the fun we could all have.
Other than the letter "L" tomorrow I will be taking a break until I am feeling better and can look and think about food without wanting to die. Cheers.

Sara! I am soooo sorry you have that nasty bug! I know of which you speak when even thinking about food just makes you want to die... Feel better soon!
I do hope you can ditch the bug soon. It's no fun for a foodie to be turned off by food! Fell better soon.
Soup sounds good to me.
Looking forward to when you're hungry again so we can see the cooking again.
Sara, the soup sounds delicious. I do hope you feel better soon.
Soup looks lovely =)
I hope you feel better soon - been wondering where you've been. Drink lots of liquids and stay under the covers!! Feel better!
Thanks guys!
