Creamy Cauliflower Soup image

Creamy soups can be soul-warming and so very satisfying. I received this recipe from a friend, and over the years I have served it many times and for many occasions. It makes a lot, so you'll have dinners all week. Or ladle it into a thermos for on-the-go dinners or lunches. - Doris Watt Davis, Hellertown, Pennsylvania
