Cauliflower and Chicken Soup

Unusual soup (at least for me): cauliflower florets and with tender chicken boiled in chicken broth and milk thickened with semolina flour.

It requires much less work to prepare that usual soup do: boil chicken and cauliflower and wait until they all become soft to taste. Not much peeling, blanching, slicing, dicing, etc.

You can adjust thickness of the soup by varying amount of water, milk and semolina flour. Add mozzarella directly to a serving bowl if you like taste of melted cheese, or skip it all together if you want to make soup skinnier.

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients: increase amount of semolina if you want thicker soup, amount of water may vary based on how big a cooking pot is, make sure that chicken is mostly covered with water when cooking broth:
