Cuisine: Australian   Serves: 4

Preparation: 20 Mins   Cooking: 45 Mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 large white potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 bulbs garlic
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • Olive oil
  • 1 litre chicken stock
  • 300ml rich cream
  • Sea salt
  • White pepper
  • 300g Barossa Fine Foods gourmet bacon, diced
  • 300g sourdough bread
  • 40g butter

Method

  1. Cut the tops off the bulbs of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven at 180°C until soft and golden. Allow to cool, then squeeze out the garlic.
  2. In a large pot, sauté the onion in olive oil, add the cauliflower, potato and roasted garlic.
  3. Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender, approximately 40 minutes.
  4. With a stick mixer, blend the soup until smooth. Add the cream and season with sea salt and white pepper.
  5. To make the crumble, roughly chop the sourdough in a food processor. In a heavy-based pan over medium heat, fry the bacon pieces until almost crispy. Add the butter and sourdough and fry until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel.
  6. Serve the crumble on top of the soup and garnish with chopped parsley or fresh herbs.
