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 I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!!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.

Tips:
- Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a more vibrant flavor and a better texture than frozen or canned cauliflower.
- Roast the cauliflower before pureeing it: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, adding depth of flavor to the soup.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: A good vegetable broth will add flavor and depth to the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooked soup will lose its fresh flavor and become mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a bit of tang.
