Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Black Forest Bacon Bits

Monday, December 03, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Chunky cauliflower florets and salty, smoky black forest bacon meld together so well in this satisfying creamy cauliflower soup. Make this warming and comforting soup for lunch or supper that's sure to warm you up on the chilliest nights. The soup thickens as it stands, so if you make it ahead of time, thin as needed with extra stock.

  • 600 g Cauliflower, stalks discarded and cut into smaller florets
  • 1 Large potato, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1 Leek, white part only, chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 600 ml Vegetable stock
  • 250 ml Soya milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 125 g Black forest bacon bits
  1. Put the cauliflower, potato and leek in a large saucepan with olive oil. Gently heat the vegetables until they start to sizzle, then cover with a lid and sweat at low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables should be softened but not coloured. Reserve a few florets to garnish finished soup.
  2. Pour in the vegetable stock and soya milk. Bring to a simmer, then gently cook for 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Purée until smooth either with a stick blender or in batches in a food processor. Add in the reserved cauliflower florets and nutmeg, reheat gently, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A soft,tender, lightly sweetened two-toned yeast chocolate bread swirled with a layer of orange chiffon cake. Not only is it DELICIOUS, it looks quite pretty when you serve it. They are excellent when toasted and spread with butter or jam for a satisfying breakfast or afternoon snack.
Alternatively, you can replace the cocoa powder with milk powder (or just flour) to prepare a sweet bread dough, then topped with a disc of chocolate flavoured foam cake.

In October, I was the very LUCKY winner of $40 Amazon gift card from Choc Chip Uru - Go Bake Yourself. Uru is a 17-year-old culinary genius and a serious chocolate fan. Please head over to her space and learn more her baking, her fun undercover stories. The cookie stamp and cupcake decorating set I have bought with the gift card have finally arrived this Saturday. Thank you once again, Uru!

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


These chocolate star cookies are special for the holidays or any time you crave sweets. The cookie dough was prepared with spelt flour, cocoa, and marzipan, and formed into stars. They are very tasty and pretty enough, thanks to the white chocolate coating and pink peppercorns, to decorate the X’mas tree or give away as the presents.

Chocolate Stars with Pink Peppercorns

adapted from Küchen Götter
  • 310 g Refined spelt flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 50 g Cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100 g Powdered sugar
  • 1/5 tsp Nutmeg powder
  • 1 tsp Orange zest
  • 150 g Unsalted butter, diced
  • 50 g Marzipan paste, diced
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 200 g White couverture
  • 4 tbsp Pink peppercorns
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together spelt flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, powdered sugar, nutmeg and orange zest. Add in diced butter, marzipan paste, egg and vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
  2. Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F, fan-forced. Remove the dough from the fridge and place it between two pieces of plastic film. Roll it out to 3mm thick. Cut with a 5cm star cookies cutter or any shape you prefer. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes. Remove and cool on pans.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the white couverture into smaller pieces and place them in a heat proof bowl. Set the bowl on a pot of hot water. After 10 minutes, give the chocolate a good stir until completely smooth. Dip the cookies with white chocolate and garnish with pink peppercorns. Place coated cookies on wax paper and let stand until firm.
