CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II



Cream of Cauliflower Soup II image

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 I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!!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

SWEET CREAM CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH SMOKED GRUYERE



Sweet Cream Cauliflower Soup with Smoked Gruyere image

Don't let the warm, orange color fool you; this is definitely cream of cauliflower soup. I like to leave the skin on my sweet potatoes because so many nutrients are lost when your peel them. The smoked gruyere really adds a creamy depth to the soup, as well. You may also want to top with toasted pine nuts to add a little texture, perhaps even some crispy bacon. Either way you serve, you will lick the bowl clean.
