Winning Cream of Cauliflower Soup image

Meet the Cook: Generally, my husband isn't a soup fan - but his spoon's poised and ready for this version. I adapted this rich and creamy concoction from a recipe I tasted at a local restaurant...and it's since become a popular item on my "menu". -Carol Reaves, San Antonio, Texas

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a whole head of cauliflower and it made a lot of soup. I froze some for later and it reheated well.
