CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH PARMESAN & HAZELNUT OIL

Making soup is easy. Making soup is therapeutic. Yes, you need a good home-made stock - but then why wouldn't you make big batches of chicken stock and fish stock and vegetable stock and keep batches of them in the freezer? In this case I cooked cauliflower florets (should that be cauliflorets?) in a covered saucepan with a little stock and garlic. I then added a little grated nutmeg, salt, pepper and grated parmesan (4-year old from Reggia) and blended it. This went into the freezer for a night such as this - when I've been too busy to cook and the weather's turned cool. A drizzle of hazelnut oil before serving, some warm slices of Iggy's sourdough and either a good olive oil (I used Partanna from Sicily) or great butter (Lurpak, Echire or Isigny and others).
