Bright Cauliflower Soup
Traditional Recipes from Minga's Kitchen
This lovely recipe came to me as a Hungarian recipe & one of the hallmarks of Hungarian soups is that they are made with very light broths.
My version of this soup is very hearty & made with my famous beef bone broth but can prepared with any beef broth. So, as you know with most of my dishes there, are a few things to be done in advance. I like my beef broth to cook for 3 or 4 days before I strain it for the next step. Having lots of broth on hand is the key to a delicious life!
Make sure to have a good selection of beautiful salts in your kitchen for all the cooking you will do. Mortons or any other salt that is very white & highly processed is not only with out nutritional value, but harmful & can affect your blood pressure & body tissues negatively. Good salt is another key to a delicious life.
As for the paprika, it comes in all kinds of heat. If you are sensitive to spice, make sure to get sweet paprika, which also comes smoked which I love when I can find it. Hot paprika makes for a hot soup, which is delicious if that is what you are craving.
