This is one of my favourite soups, a James Martin special! I was in hospital when I first tried it and James had recently done a TV series about changing hospital food for the better. It certainly made my stay in Scarborough Hospital a whole lot better! When I first saw it on the menu, I hesitated in ordering it because I wasn’t sure cauliflower and apple would taste very nice but oh my, how wrong can a person be….it was incredibly good! So THANK YOU James xx ?

  • 1¼ pint milk
  • 1¼ boiled water
