  • I'll be honest — I absolutely love cauliflower. But for the longest time my cookbook had just one recipe for it: fried with eggs. I'd never put it in soup, so a recipe that featured cauliflower in a soup immediately caught my eye. The pear gave me pause at first, but then I thought, why not? The result was a dish with a delicate, fresh flavor that everyone at home loved without exception. So — Bulgarian cuisine. Trim and rinse the cauliflower and broccoli well under running water and break them into florets. Peel the pear, remove the seeds, and cut it into small pieces. Slice the leek into rings. Melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a hot pan and add the leek, pear, and half the cauliflower and broccoli. Fry for five minutes, stirring constantly. Season with pepper, curry, salt, and grated lemon zest. Transfer to a pot, pour in the broth, and cook for about twenty minutes. Then purée everything in the pot with an immersion blender. Add the remaining half of the cauliflower and broccoli and let it sit for about ten minutes so the vegetables soak up the soup and lend it their flavor. Pour in the warmed cream and stir in the sesame seeds. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. By the way, you can chop the vegetables that aren't puréed into smaller pieces — personally, I prefer them fine.
