Categories: soup

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 3/4 cup diced onion
  • 3/4 cup diced celery
  • 1 qt. homemade chicken broth
  • 1 10 oz. pkg. frozen cauliflower

With a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from the pot and place in a blender. Carefully pour as much broth as will fit into the blender and puree until smooth. (Let steam vent from lid to prevent blow-out.)
  2. Pour mixture back into pan and add cream, salt and pepper.

  4. Top with fresh parsley sprigs

  5. Add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg or mace
