Bring the soup to the boil, the reduce the heat, pop the lid on and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes.


4. In the meantime make the garlic croutons. Put the crouton ingredients plus a pinch of salt and pepper into a freezer bag, then seal the bag, shake it and turn it upside down to fully coat the cubes of bread in the oil and seasonings. Tip out on to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 5 - 6 minutes until crispy and golden.


Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.


5. Use a stick blender to blitz the soup until smooth, then season to taste.


6. Serve the soup in individual bowls, topped with a dollop of the yoghurt and scattered with the croutons.
