Cream of Cauliflower Soup 花菜奶油浓汤

【Cream of Cauliflower Soup】
by Maomao Dad

My wife and son do not like the texture of cauliflower. They prefer broccoli instead. When I travelled back to my hometown of Fuzhou a few years ago, I found the light green colored cauliflower. It doesn’t have the usual mushy texture, and is perfect for stir-fry. However you don’t expect to see that in Ottawa.

When I was grocery shopping last weekend, I saw fresh looking cauliflowers on sale at Farm Boy. Couldn’t resist them, I picked one and thought about making a cream of cauliflower soup to please Maomao. I remember that he had it once at a restaurant and liked it.

I was able to find a few good recipes from allrecipes.com. Here is the one with the ingredients that I have on hand.
