Cauliflower Soup with Porcini Oil

There is nothing nicer than a bowl of soup for lunch now the weather is turning cooler. This Cauliflower Soup was very quick and easy to make. The soup was drizzled with porcini oil; made by heating dried porcini mushrooms (found in delis) in olive oil for 5 minutes. I was surprised how much flavour this added to this creamy soup.
Rating 7 out of 10.
We enjoyed the left over oil for an easy "dinner" of bread dipped in the oil and dukkah. If you have never tried dukkah it is mix of nuts, seeds and spices. There are many types available and they can be used widely in cooking but are particularly nice served with drinks with olive oil and turkish bread.
