CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH SPRINKLES

Bring to a simmer, then gently cook for 10-12 mins until the cauliflower is tender. Add the cream and bring back to the boil. Season with salt and nutmeg, then place in a blender and blitz until smooth. If you like, you can sieve the soup to make it even smoother - I think this makes a difference and doesn't take much more effort, but it's certainly not essential.
• To serve, bring the soup to the table in the pan with a ladle and little dishes of all the different things you want to serve as sprinkles. Let everyone help themselves. I like to take little servings of soup and scatter over something different each time for variety.

CHEESY CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In a soup pot or Dutch oven, saute the sliced shallots in the olive oil until translucent.
• 2. Add the chicken broth and cauliflower and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft.
• 3. Using an immersion blender, blend the hot broth and cauliflower until somewhat smooth. (If you do not have an immersion blender, allow the soup to cool and then blend or mash.)
• 4. Add the milk and cheese and heat through, stirring fairly constantly, until the cheese melts. Do not continue to cook to avoid scorching.
• 5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with the salt and pepper. If you have used purchased chicken broth you may need no salt at this point. If you prefer, use white pepper to avoid dark spots in the soup.
• 6. Serve hot, topped with garnishes such as cilantro, bacon, and homemade croutons (recipe follows)
• 7. To make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350F. While the broth and cauliflower cook, cut two or more slices of Italian bread into cubes. Put about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the bread cubes in the olive oil, moving quickly to distribute the oil among the cubes. Optionally, add a seasoning or dried herb mix and toss the cubes again. Distribute the cubes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes. Turn off the oven, turn over the croutons for even cooking, and return to the still warm oven to continue toasting. The croutons will be warm and ready when the soup is ready.
