Cauliflower Soup

INGREDIENTS (serves 8):
1 large head of cauliflower, broken into florets
2 large potatoes, diced
1/2 marrow, diced
1 very large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 stock cubes
3 cups of water
ground pepper
3 bay leaves

Heat some olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes.
Add the mustard, cumin and cayenne pepper and mix well.
Add the potato, marrow and cauliflower, stock and water to cover the vegetables.
Add the bay leaves:
If you are using a pressure cooker, cook the soup for 10 minutes once the pan has been brought up to pressure. If using a normal saucepan, simmer for 30-40 minutes or until all the vegetables are soft.
Remove the bay leaves and purée the soup until smooth.
Serve with ricotta or grated cheese and bread.
