Garnish? Or Crouton? PLUS: a fantastic (and fantastically easy) Cauliflower Soup

5 Minute Food Fix

Yumi and Simon nut out the big questions on today's episode.

What IS the difference between a garnish and something bigger, like a handful of croutons?

Yumi will also talk you through a FANTASTIC cauliflower soup recipe which is easy (tick), delicious (tick), you could probably do tonight (tick!) and it is topped by the most unbelievably enjoyable garnish. (That is actually NOT a garnish.) Wait with baited breath to see if Simon can somehow incorporate his favourite ingredient into today's episode!

1 whole cauliflower (about 1.6kg), trimmed and cut into chunky florets

2 tins white beans, drained and rinsed

1 litre of chicken or veg stock

3 tbs sakè or dry white wine

2 tbs mirin

2 tbs smoked salt flakes (just use whatever you have)

2 tbs sprigs of fresh thyme

TO SERVE:

1 tub sour cream

juicy lemons

TOPPING

Plain potato chips

Fresh chives

METHOD

Combine everything in the INGREDIENTS list in your slow cooker, turn on 'LOW' and leave for 8 hours.
