Cream of Cauliflower soup

[mixalot]

I made this with high hope for the dish... I was dissapointed! I only used half the amount of oil suggested and half the cashews as I dont like having too much fat in my diet and thought that the oil (EVOO) would have been too overpowering.  I found that it had a very unplesant taste to it, almost bitter and tart. I ended up giving it to the chook, Maybe it could have donw with a date or two added to it but i dont think it would have made a big difference to it.
Wont be making it again.
Has anyone else made this and had the same issues? OR maybe you liked it? Share away

Ah, sorry didn't pick up on the fact that this was a raw recipe.  I'm not into raw food except salads but I'm sure one or more of our members will get back to you on this one mixalot.

I find that a lot of raw and vegan recipes are incredibly high in fat. I think adding all the cashews may have made it sweeter.

I was disappointed with the cauliflower soup when I first made it. But when I tried again it was much better as I added more water along with some shoyu sauce and honey. Although probably more telling, I haven't made it since. The soup didn't have the right consistency but the extra water in the second attempt helped a lot. At the time I didn't register a bitter or tart taste, but since shoyu sauce and honey helped, I suspect the taste was an issue as well.

I've blogged about it here:-
