Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Sea salt
1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped
1 1/4 pounds cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
1/4 cup cream, more if desired
Freshly ground black pepper
Walnut oil

Steps:

  • Place a large casserole over medium-high heat. Heat olive oil until it shimmers, and add mushrooms. Season with salt to taste, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Add cauliflower and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Working in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree soup until very smooth. Return soup to pan, and place over medium heat. Stir in cream, adjust salt and season with pepper to taste.
  • To serve, stir soup, or carefully use an immersion blender to blend and froth top of soup. Ladle into warmed bowls and drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil into each. Serve hot.
