Cauliflower is one of two great exceptions to the white foods rule. Yes, I opt for color to take advantage of the antioxidant boost from plant pigments and shun refined grains, such as white bread and white rice, but although cauliflower might be white, just like its cruciferous cousins, it's one of the healthiest vegetables. (The other unusually healthy white food? White mushrooms.) VARIATIONS: When ready to serve, add any of the following for a slightly different take on what will surely become a favorite: cooked brown, red or black rice; green peas; chopped cooked spinach; minced chives; or diced spring onions.

Add the cauliflower and the remaining 3 cups/700ml of broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cauliflower is soft, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Puree the soup in a food processor or blender, working in batches if necessary, or use a stick blender to puree the soup directly in the pan. Stir in the lemon; then taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Ladle into bowls and serve hot, garnished with chopped tomato.
