Potato and Cauliflower Soup

 

For years we lived in Dublin city centre and loved every minute of it. Just minutes away from the O’Connell Street with the stores, cinemas, museums and other great attractions just a reach of the hand.  

 

But with A. coming along we decided to move away from busy streets and settle in a quieter part of the Dublin. Away from rush and traffic. Close to the park and children playground where A. and I like to spend time. Yet still walk away from schools, shops and other facilities.

I have to say I enjoy it. Even more than the busy streets I use to love so much...

Prep time : 15 min

½ tsp cayenne pepper

700 ml chicken or vegetable broth

Fresh ground pepper

In a large pot combine cauliflower, potato, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper and broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 min or until vegetables are tender.
