KNR, p. 304 “Cauliflower Soup”
Cauliflower is in season and since we love it, we bought a bunch and started cooking. See the Roasted Cauliflower recipe here. Sometimes we serve the soup in bread bowls (the photo in the recipe section below shows a pretzel bread bowl) and sometimes in soup bowls with cornbread on the side. Either way, we enjoy it throughout January and February when the cauliflower heads are plentiful in the grocery and totally fresh.
