Smooth Cauliflower Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Yael Nissan PHOTO BY: LynnInHK

"A great creamy-smooth soup for cold winter nights. The thickness of the soup is determined by the proportions of cauliflower to water. Because different sizes of cauliflower are out there, add water if soup comes out too thick."
