½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a cauliflower head that is firm and white, with no brown spots. Avoid heads with yellowing or wilting leaves, as these may indicate that the cauliflower is past its prime.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help ensure that they cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through, while if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the cauliflower, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the florets from cooking evenly and may result in a watery soup.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: Before serving the soup, garnish it with a sprinkling of fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
