1
["HEAT the olive oil in the heavy based soup pot and add the first 9 ingredients (carrot, onion, cumin & coriander seeds, chili flakes, turmeric, salt and black pepper).
2
STIR OFTEN until softened but not browning to keep the mixture from catching on the bottom.", "ADD the cilantro, fennel, cauliflower, chicken broth and water if needed. RAISE the heat and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.
3
REDUCE HEAT to a simmer and COOK until the cauliflower is very tender (about 30 minutes).", "USE A HAND HELD BLENDER to blend the soup (a blender would obliterate the texture).
4
FOLD THROUGH chives, mint and lime zest and gently incorporate the lime juice.", "To vary taste and cater to a particular sense of occasion, I have at times folded through plain creamy low-fat yoghurt or a couple of tablespoons of low-fat cream.", "NOTE: I find adding chili powder and dried chili flakes overkill. As dried chili flakes are my friend always, I have opted to delete the chili powder from the original recipe."]
