THIS SOUP IS AMAZING!!!!!!
If you are looking for an absolutely delicious soup with rich flavours and a wee bit of heat look no further. We ate the entire batch in one sitting because it was so good!
Ingredients :
Olive oil
1 sweet red pepper
4 cloves of garlic
1 head of cauliflower
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
4 cups chicken stock
1 yellow onion coarsely chopped
2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp saffron threads (optional)
2 shell on shrimp or prawns
1 cup full fat coconut milk
16 medium sized peeled and cleaned shrimp.
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce or tobasco
Juice of 1/2 lime
Preheat oven to 450 F. Cut red pepper in half, discard stem and seeds and brush with olive oil. Place two cloves of peeled garlic in each half and put in baking pan. Core the cauliflower but leave head in tact. Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder, place alongside red pepper in baking pan. Roast for 40 minutes until cauliflower is browned and peppers have some char on them. While roasting your veg get your stock ready. In a stock pot heat a table spoon of olive oil and sauté your onions. Add in curry and saffron and cook until spices get toasted and there are brown bits in your pot. Add in chicken stock and be sure to scrape up the toasty bits on the bottom of your pot. That is where the flavour is. I used unsalted stock so I put in a half tsp of salt and a quarter tsp of black pepper. I tossed in a couple of shell on shrimp for flavour. Discard them when you transfer broth to blender. Bring to a boil reduce to simmer and let cook with lid on until vegetables are done roasting. When vegetables are roasted throw them all in a blender, reserve a cup or so of bite sized cauliflower florets. Pour broth over top of vegetables and liquify. Add mixture back in pot. Add in coconut milk and hot pepper sauce. I use trinidadian hot pepper sauce, use as much or as little as you like. Always taste as you go. let simmer until broth is hot enough to cook your shrimp. Add in shrimp and cook until they are opaque. Don’t over cook them or they will not be tender like they should be. When shrimp are cooked through remove soup from heat and add in lime juice.
