Silky Apple & Cauliflower Soup with Crisp Parmesan Wafers, yes I said apple.

This Cream of Cauliflower Soup with apple is the kind of quiet overachiever that sneaks up on you, incredibly simple, but layered with flavour. The natural sweetness of apple lifts the mellow, nutty depth of cauliflower, creating a velvety, comforting bowl that feels both light and luxurious. It’s the perfect balance of savoury and subtly sweet, with a whisper of sophistication.

And then come the parmesan wafers, one of my all time faves to munch on, golden, lacy, salty shards of crunch that take this soup from “lovely” to “restaurant-worthy.” Whether you’re serving it as an elegant starter or a nourishing lunch, this is a bowl that delivers every time.

Serving Pairings
A drizzle of good EVOO and a crack of black pepper to finish
Extra parmesan wafers on the side for dipping and crunch
Warm crusty sourdough or a buttered baguette
A simple shaved fennel and rocket salad with lemon dressing
Crispy pancetta or prosciutto shards for a salty contrast
A dollop of crème fraîche or Greek yogurt for added richness
Toasted hazelnuts or walnuts for texture
A glass of chilled Chardonnay or a light Pinot Gris
For a fuller meal, serve alongside a roast chicken or baked salmon
