Creme De La Grand' Tante (Cream Of Cauliflower Soup)

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Separate the cauliflower head into florets and steam until soft, about 15 minutes. Purée in a food processor.

2. Step 2

   Heat chicken broth until boiling. Add cauliflower purée, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Remove from the heat, stir in the milk and taste. If it is too salty, add a little more milk. Add the butter, and stir until it melts. Whisk egg yolks and ½ cup water in a bowl until blended. Pour through a sieve into the soup. Whisk soup until blended.

4. Step 4

   Return soup to the stove and whisk over medium-low heat until it thickens into a cream. Taste and add salt if necessary.
