Recipe: Cauliflower & Corn Soup

Melbourne has been teasing us recently with some days of beautiful sunshine, before descending straight back into winter with pouring rain and freezing temperatures. Even though I’m hanging out for Spring I am making the most of the weather by having winter warming meals like this cauliflower and corn soup. It’s full of flavour and is particularly delicious served with crusty bread sitting by an open fire. A heater works well too though!

  • Large onion
  • Leek
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • Pinch dried chilli (more or less depending your love of spice!)
