May 15

Cauliflower and courgette are not two vegetable I would have put together. The other day I was in the fridge trying to decide what to do with my leftovers. I have a cauliflower and a couple of courgettes I hadn't used in other recipes. Therefore I decided to throw the two together and add a few other ingredients too. The soup was delicious for a leftover meal and of course, I had to share the recipe with you.

Drizzle over the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to your tastes.
Toss all these ingredients together.
When everything is coated in the oil, salt and pepper place the baking tray back into the preheated oven.
Cook for about 25 - 30 minutes or until the vegetables are golden brown around the edges.
Once the veg is golden brown remove from the oven and leave to cool.
When the vegetables are cool enough to touch, place in the blender.
Pour in the stock and milk.
Then add in the dried mixed herbs too and more salt and pepper if necessary.

Depending on how big your blender is you may need to blend the soup in two parts.
Once all the ingredients are blended pour them into a large saucepan and heat through.
Then serve with cheesy bread or a chickpea flour wraps and enjoy.

Roasted Cauliflower and Courgette Soup

Roasted Cauliflower and Courgette Soup was a surprisingly tasty soup. It was very easy to prepare and cook. Plus it can be made in advance of a meal and frozen for another occasion. It also made delicious leftovers as well. I ate mine with chickpea flour wraps and my husband Howard and son Ted ate theirs with cheesy toast. However you decide to eat this meal as always please enjoy. Thank you xxx
