Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 700g cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 300g celeriac, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, in their skins
  • 25g butter
  • 3 celery sticks
  • 1 onion sliced and chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1.5 litres of vegetable stock
  • 30g grated comte cheese
  • 3 tbsp double cream
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200° C
  2. Place the cauliflower florets, the peeled and chopped celeriac and the garlic cloves onto a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, with your hands toss the vegetables until they are covered with the oil. Season with salt and place into the oven, roast for 20 minutes.
  3. While the vegetables are cooking, take a large saucepan, or cast iron pot. On a medium flame and start to melt the butter. 
  4. Add the onions, celery and cumin. Turn down the heat, and cook until the onions are transparent and soft and slippery.
  5. Once the cauliflower and celeriac are nice and soft, tip into the pot with the onions and celery. Squeeze the garlic from their skins and drop these in too.
  6. Have your vegetable stock ready and add this to the pot.
  7. Pop the lid onto the pot, bring the contents to a boil before turning down the heat and simmering for 20 minutes. Check the contents, taste, and add a little pepper and salt to season.
  8. While this is happening, take a small frying pan, place on the stove, add the cumin seeds. Gently heat until the fragrance is released. Then set aside.
  9. Now for the fun bit. Take the pot off the heat, and using a hand blender, blend to a thick, soothing soup. If looks too thick, you can always add a little hot water.
  10. Sprinkle in the cheese and and spoon in the cream, and stir into the soup. Taste before seasoning 
  11. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with the freshly toasted cumin seeds.
  12. Eat, enjoy and be nourished!
