Potato-cauliflower soup

Craving for something cosy and delicious but not complicated?

This potato and cauliflower soup has you covered. Simply roast, blend and top with Parmigiano - and there you have it a warm, creamy bowl of deliciousness. This recipe was originally inspired by simple garden staples and rustic oven-baking techniques, mixing everyday ingredients like potatoes, garlic, and onion, with a twist with the subtle, nutty flavour of cauliflower.

But comfort isn’t always born from ease. Sometimes, it comes from surviving the hard days. From finding warmth after coldness, softness after cruelty. And this soup is a reminder of that, by turning something rough into something nourishing. By transforming bitterness into something bold and flavorful.

If I feel guilty? Not more than they were.

If I didn't feel any remorse? Did they, for what they’d done to me?

The prey became the hunter - and the wolves didn't see it coming. Day in, day out - they called me names. Day in, day out - they passed notes around saying nasty things about me. Day in, day out - they made my life a living hell. One day I had to get out - end the misery I was trapped in. I couldn't take it anymore - couldn't live another day in this nightmare. So I decided to end it - escape the suffering. I was ready, the blade already on my vein, when she entered the room. I knew her - she was a grade below me. One of the calm girls - but that didn't save her from being seen by the pack. I could hear her cries through the toilet door - could feel her desperation because I knew it all too well. 

And I realized: this wouldn't end with me. 

So, I dropped the blade - transformed into the hunter they made me to be - and stepped out of the bathroom to track them down. To let each one of them be kissed by the blade - be punished for their inexcusable actions. And make sure their actions stopped for good - ended with me.

So, ask me again if I feel guilty and why I didn't feel any remorse.

This soup's recipe is fast, fuss-free, and full tasteful. A perfection for when you want something that feels like a soft exhale. And with a generous sprinkle of Parmigiano on top, it’s proof that even the simplest things can provide a significant feeling of peace.
