Soup alla Canavese is made from white stock, butter, onions, carrot, celery, tomato puree, cauliflower, fat bacon, parsley, sage, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Chop half an onion, half a carrot, half a stick of celery and a small amount of fat bacon and fry in two ounces of butter. Combine the mixture with a white stock and boil for a few minutes before passing it through a sieve and combining with two tablespoons of tomato puree. Drain half of a blanched, cold cauliflower and break into small bunches before combining with the stock and mixture, along with a small amount of sage and parsley. Let the mixture boil before adding grated Parmesan cheese and pepper.
The dish is traditionally served with Parmesan separately available to add to taste.
