It must be said that I usually can’t stand Cauliflower (childhood memories of cauliflower cheese slowly going cold as I pushed  it around the plate *shudder*).  This soup transports the vegetable in some way however.  The end result is silky and deep and doesn’t taste like cauliflower as I remember it.  Plus it’s healthy!
