Surprise your loved one this Valentine’s Day with a romantic dinner at home featuring soup. Nothing says love like a home cooked meal. Instead of dining out in a crowded, expensive, restaurant, spend a quiet evening at home enjoying this warm, comforting, totally white soup.
The colour is completely natural and comes from the vegetables and the other ingredients of the recipe.

Instructions
-
Prepare the aromatic water: Heat the water to approx. 80°C. Infuse jasmine tea for 8 minutes.
-
Prepare the vegetables: Chop them all in coarse chunks.
-
In a deep saucepan, sauté the onion and ginger in the oil, over medium heat, for 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the celery root, apple, cauliflower, salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.
-
Pour in the aromatic water and coconut milk and stir. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, half cover the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes, until all ingredients are tender. Set aside.
-
Using an immersion (stick) blender, purée soup into the pot. Taste and add salt, if you like.
If the soup is too thick, thin it by adding a little more warm aromatic water until your soup reaches the perfect consistency.
-
Serve hot in soup bowls and sprinkle with ground pepper, prosciutto and fresh oregano leaves.
Notes
Serve with heart shaped toasted bread and a big kiss!
