Skanky cauli and zucchini soup

Over a cuppa with a friend, and discussing a future soup i was making with zucchin and cauli, I mentioned I was using skanky cauli.  I grew it - heavens knows how, it appeared in the garden and I think some seeds were packaged wrongly and I ended up with cauli seeds instead of broccoli.  As has happened before the cauli was not great - lots of bugs growing in it but I hate throwing food out so I froze it so it could be included in stews and soups - not steamed where the kids investigate it and inevitably find it full of 'protein'.  So here is the soup I came up with

lightly fry and onion, chopped broccoli and skanky cauli.  Add about a litre of chicken stock (litre of water and 4 stock cubes)  boil for about 10 mins and then leave to cool.  Wiz.  reheat and add cream to the bowl, season if you think it needs it - I used ginseng salt which is just gorgeous.

Sorry I dont do quantities - but it makes just over a litre so I guess it serves 4.

Why dont I get capitals when I double space?

Oh yes, and the best bit, scoop up any floating 'protein' before serving.  And any black protein - well thats just pepper.
