Stand-back-and-throw: Lassie soup (Blogtoberfest day 13)



Lassie Come Home is the story of a beautiful white collie. Sadly Lassie's owners fell on hard times and had to sell her. The poor collie went to pieces.



But after taking stock, she planned an escape - she would make the journey.



It would have been difficult even for the most seasoned traveller.



Lassie faced many perils along the way, but never ran out of steam.



She was a tenacious collie; telling herself, ricotta keep going, ricotta keep going.



Finally Lassie was reunited with her family. She blended right back in. What a souper ending.



For an easy and delicious stand-back-and-throw Lassie soup, cut one washed cauliflower into florets. Place in a large pan and partly cover with stock. Season with a little nutmeg. Cook until the cauliflower falls apart. Add a tub of ricotta and blend until smooth.

  2. I think "ricotta keep going" is going to keep me awake at nights for quite some time.
    However I do love cauliflower and caulifower soup so I'll forgive those shocking puns!

  4. Oh my god, it would take me weeks to get that text together, but somehow, I'm guessing those words and really bad pun just roll off your tongue!

    I do have LOTS of cauliflower in fridge though, might have to give it a whirl.

  5. Well look at you, cooking and punning (is that even a word ?) away. Sadly I became too distracted by the fact that you were using my bestest ever casserole dish to cook the soup in. I know, I know, sad isn't it ?

  11. Nice. Cauliflower always ends up going manky in my fridge until I cook it in a stir-fry that no-one wants to eat anyway. What a flowery way to tell a recipe though... ah, forget it, I'm no good at this stuff..hehe.
