A doctor has shared her go-to soup that always leaves her family wanting more.
Dr Preeya Alexander, from Melbourne, made a cauliflower and zucchini soup using just five ingredients – and it’s perfect for fussy kids, as the vegetables are hidden.
To make the autumn dish, you’ll need cauliflower, zucchini, brown onion, chicken stock powder and grated cheddar cheese.

‘My cauliflower and zucchini soup is bloody delicious and veggie packed. Both my kids smash this and there’s always debate on who gets the last bit,’ Dr Alexander, also known as The Wholesome Doctor on Instagram, wrote.
‘This packs a veggie punch for the whole family – my one-year-old son eats it with wholemeal bread roll bits soaked in so it’s a filling meal for him too.’
She said the best thing about creating her own soup is she can tweak the recipe to include whatever vegetable she has at home.
‘I normally include leek – but like all my cooking I work with what I have – and this time I just used an onion instead,’ she explained.
Dr Alexander said she uses a whole cauliflower for her recipe.
‘The key to this recipe is the cauliflower – use all the bits including the stalk and soft leaves – don’t waste,’ she explained.
In a large stockpot, she added oil and chopped onion and cooked until brown before adding the cauliflower and zucchini.

Dr Alexander said she cooked the vegetables until it was soft enough to blend until smooth. She then added a cup of grated cheese and stirred until it’s melted
‘Let it brown off in the pot beforehand with the zucchini – let the cauliflower sweat because that’s when you get the glorious nuttiness,’ she said.
She added two teaspoons of stock powder before pouring in boiling water until all the vegetables are submerged.
‘You can use liquid stock in this but I’m doing my small bit for the planet and using powder instead – again work with what you have but give this a shot – promise you won’t regret it,’ she said.

She then added a cup of grated cheese and stirred until it melted. She seasoned the soup with pepper to taste.
The mother said the soup is great for preparing ahead of a hectic schedule.
‘Leave this in the fridge when you have a busy week coming up. It is a great way to get vegetables in and it stores well in the fridge or freezer,’ she said.
