About the recipe
We may be calling this a puree, but really it's a simple soup that the whole family will enjoy! It takes less than 20 minutes to prepare, contains 6 vegetables and uses collagen-rich bone broth as a base. You can add any herbs or spices for additional flavour, and we love to enrich ours with egg yolk to increase the nutrient-density even more.
Brothy Cauliflower Purée is a comforting, family-friendly take on a classic veggie soup. Silky, gentle, and loaded with six vegetables, it’s made on collagen-rich bone broth for extra nourishment and flavour. This version is quick to prepare (under 20 minutes) and easily adapted to your family’s tastes. Add herbs or spices you love, enrich with an egg yolk for extra creaminess, or keep it simple for little tummies.

Ingredients
1 leek (sliced)
1 garlic clove (sliced)
1 celery stick (diced)
1 carrot (diced)
1 large cauliflower (chopped)
2 potatoes (washed and diced)
1 litre chicken bone broth or stock
1 sprig rosemary
1 pinch white pepper
1 handful fresh flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
1 egg yolk (optional)
Method
Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the leek, garlic, carrot, celery, cauliflower and potato with a pinch of salt (or omit salt if you prefer) until they begin to brown and get some colour. This is a time-saving hack to avoid roasting the cauliflower beforehand, which gives the soup extra flavour.
