I just don't really like sandwiches, so mostly we have a hot lunch. Today's entree was curried cauliflower bisque (well, there was no milk or cream, but it tasted creamy from the milk in the mashed potatoes) with a side salad of celery, tomatoes, radishes and parsley.
Saute 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves garlic in olive oil.
Stir in chopped leftover cauliflower (about 1/2 head) and 2 t curry powder (or to taste)
Add 1 C chicken broth and 1 C water (use veg broth or water if you are a vegetarian/vegan)
Bring to boil and cook for 5 or so minutes; stir in and break up about 1 C leftover mashed potatoes.
Season with a couple of dashes of white pepper. (If you used commercial broth you probably don't need to add salt.)
Bring to boil again; transfer to blender and puree until smooth.
Pour immediately into bowls. Serves 2, just barely. Your companion will probably want MORE. Be careful of the precedent you set if you share yours. I'm just saying.
