This is a very special soup ...
Peel and halve 1 medium sized onion along with 2 large garlic cloves .
Heat a tbs of oil in a soup pot over a medium heat .
Stir in the onion , garlic , a generous pinch of chilli flakes and 1/2 tsp of salt .
Stir to combine and cover the pot , reduce heat allowing the onion and garlic to sweat and soften , do not allow them to brown .
I add one zucchini unpeeled and sliced ( optional )
Trim the green leaves from the cauliflower .
Quarter the cauliflower and then chop each quarter into smaller pieces .
Now carefully remove the zest from 1 lemon.
Add 1 litre of chicken stock to the soup pot along with the cauliflower and the lemon zest .
Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer , partially cover the pot with a lid and simmer till tender .
Puree the soup with a stick blender and then stir in 2 tbs of mascarpone and 4 tbs of finely grated Parmesan cheese .
Season to taste with lemon juice ...
If you want a complete meal in a pot add a precooked chicken ,discard the skin ,bones and stuffing and shred the meat into cauliflower and lemon soup .
Serve with crusty bread .
Enjoy .
