many carb-free recipes so why not
eat it as a soup? Add an entree salad
(no greens here, though you could
serve this dish on a bed of your
favorite lettuce or arugula) of wild
rice, Israeli couscous,
asparagus and tiny green
beans (haricots verts).
If you'd like to keep this
recipe vegetarian, just
substitute beans (garban-
zo, black, white kidney —
any kind you like) for the
chicken.
Then there are those
biscuits, served with a
compound butter filled
with orange and pecans.
Spring has officially
been here for a couple of
weeks, but — whatever the tempera-
ture — it finally is beginning to feel
like it's for real.

Ai

—

I

t feels good to be in April.
With Passover finally over, we
soon will commemorate three
modern-day Jewish holidays: Yom
Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance
Day), Yom Hazikaron
(Israel's Memorial Day)
and Yom Haatzmaut
(Israel's Independence
Day), not to mention Lag
b'Omer at the end of the
month.
Next week I will focus
on some Israeli foods, but
this week, it's all about
... nothing. No theme, no
symbolism — just some
good seasonal spring
eating, including floury
biscuits, buttery and deli-
cious.
On the menu is a non-cream
creamy soup. Cauliflower already
is being substituted for potatoes in

CAULIFLOWER SOUP
Thick, white and creamy — but no
cream!
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 medium cauliflower, stems
chopped and the florets separated
and chopped
8 cups chicken broth or water
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 /4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
salt and white pepper to taste

Heat oil in a large saucepan.
Add the onion, and cook, stirring
frequently, until softened, about 5
minutes. Add the cauliflower stems
and about half of the chopped

"florets." Add the remaining ingre-
dients, and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat slightly, and cook the cauli-
flower until it is very tender, about
30 minutes. Remove from heat, and
cool slightly before pureeing the
soup in a blender or food proces-
sor.
Transfer the soup back to the
pot, and add the remaining cauli-
flower. Bring to a boil over medi-
um-high heat, reduce heat to sim-
mer, cover and cook the soup until
the cauliflower is tender, about 2
minutes. Adjust salt and pepper,
and serve the soup hot. Makes 6-8
servings.
