CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II
I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Steps:
- Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
- Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
- Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP
The color of sunflowers, this gently spiced soup comes from Yasmin Khan's "Zaitoun: Recipes From the Palestinian Kitchen," in which Ms. Khan explains that cauliflower is elemental in Palestinian cooking. Here, cauliflower florets and leaves are roasted in the oven with cumin and coriander until browned, the vegetable's deep, nutty flavors coaxed out by the heat. Reserve some roasted florets and leaves for garnish, then simmer the remaining cauliflower mixture with turmeric and potato, which adds creamy texture to this thick, velvety soup. Sprinkle the soup with any remaining cauliflower, crunchy toasted almonds and as much fresh parsley as you'd like.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the chopped cauliflower, any cauliflower leaves and the onions on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together, then arrange in an even layer. Roast until the cauliflower is browned and cooked through but still has some bite, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potato and turmeric, add the stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until the potato is soft, about 10 minutes.
- When the cauliflower is done, reserve about 1 cup cauliflower for the topping (including leaves, if you have them) and add the remaining cauliflower and onions to the soup. Return the soup to a simmer and cook until flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Blitz with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. When you are ready to serve, ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Top with the reserved roasted cauliflower and a scattering of almonds and parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor, use a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no brown spots or blemishes.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked cauliflower will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of toppings: To add flavor and texture to your soup, try topping it with grated cheese, croutons, chopped bacon, or roasted vegetables.
- Make it ahead of time: Cauliflower soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a comforting soup to warm you up on a cold day, cauliflower soup is a great choice.
