Ingredients
  

  • ½ piece cauliflower washed, cut in small florets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • ¼ tsp black pepper powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 piece chicken stock cube or chicken cube
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp black pepper powder
  • Coriander leaves a fistful, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Take a piece of cauliflower and cut it into half. Cut it further into small florets. Wash them nicely and keep aside. (Pro tip: You may wash the cauliflower florets in saline water. It will kill the insects, if any).
  • Now, heat 2 tbsp of butter in a frying pan or kadai on a medium flame. When it melts, add 1 tbsp of finely chopped onions and 1 tsp of garlic to it. Sauté them for about two minutes or so.
  • Add the washed cauliflower florets along with ¼ tsp of black pepper powder and ½ tsp of salt. Mix and cook them nicely for about 5 minutes on a medium flame.
  • When the cauliflower is cooked nicely, add 4 cups of water to it. Mix and cook for about a minute more.
  • Then, add a chicken stock cube to it and mix nicely.
  • Cook it until the water comes to a roll boil.
  • Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on a medium flame.
  • In the meantime, crack one egg in a separate bowl or cup and whisk it nicely with a fork.
  • Pour the whisked egg slowly to the soup while stirring it continuously with a spatula in your other hand.
  • Now, take another mixing bowl and put 1 tbsp of corn flour in it along with 2 tbsp of water. Mix it nicely to make a smooth slurry.
  • Now, pour the corn flour mixture in the soup as well while stirring it continuously as you did while adding the whisked egg. Let it cook for another 5 minutes or so.
  • Now, add ½ tsp of black pepper powder and mix it nicely.
  • Check the consistency of the soup.
  • Finally, add a fistful of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves to the soup. Mix well and switch off the gas stove.
  • Your healthy and tasty cauliflower soup is ready to enjoy. Transfer it to a serving bowl, garnish it with a few finely chopped coriander leaves again and have it hot.

Notes

I have added chicken stock cube in the recipe. You can use regular chicken cube in its place if you do not have it. 
I stir the soup continuously while adding the egg. It gives a nice texture to the soup just like in restaurants.
Stirring the soup while adding corn flour prevents forming lumps in it and gives a nice and smooth consistency to the soup.
Do not add too much of corn flour to the soup. Cauliflower soup should ideally be quite runny in consistency.
