Cauliflower Soup

1 medium head cauliflower
4 cups unsalted vegetable soup stock (recipe below) OR 4 c. water + 1 unsalted vegetable bouillon cube
3 leeks chopped
1/2-1 onion chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic minced
3/4 c rice
1/2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme leaf
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp gr. cumin
1 tsp gr coriander
1/2 tsp gr ginger
1/2-1c cream (optional)

I chopped three leeks, one large yellow onion and a med. head of cauliflower. I threw the onion and leek in a big pot and sweated them for a bit in olive oil added the garlic then added the cauliflower and about ¾ cup of jasmine rice and a quart of veggie stock. Add the spices. It needed a bit of water to mostly cover the vegetables and then I covered it and cooked it at a simmer for about thirty minutes.

Can whirl or serve chunky. Serve hot or cold, add cream if desired.
