Serves: 8 x 1 cup serves
Difficulty: Easy
Points: 1.5 pts per 1 cup
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients: 

• 1 kg cauliflower
• 1 large onion, diced large
• oil spray 
• 3 large potatoes (450g) diced to 1cm
• 750 ml chicken stock (or 3 cups water + 3 stock cubes)
• 3 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/2 tsp tumeric
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 x 375ml can Carnation Evaporated Light & Creamy Milk

Method:
Line a baking tray with baking paper, then spray lightly with oil spray.
Spread the cauliflower pieces on the tray and spray lightly with oil spray
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180*C.
Meanwhile, spray a large pan with oil spray and heat to moderate.
Fry the onions for about 4 minutes, until they are starting to become transparent.
Add potato, garlic, tumeric, fennel seeds and fry for 2 minutes to release fragrance.
Then add the stock, and simmer with lid on for 15-20 minutes.
Add the cauliflower and tin of milk and warm through for 3-5 minutes.
Blend well and serve topped with a little cracked pepper and parsley or chives.

Note - using a stick blender in the pan will result in an unpleasant grainy texture. Blend in a jug in batches, or allow to cool and use a lidded blender. Never blend hot liquids in a lidded blender (the steam will blow the lid off and spray you and your kitchen)
