Cauliflower Shiitake Soup With Truffle Oil

• soup
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped roughly
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large head cauliflower
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• dash ground nutmeg
• toppping
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
• 1 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms
• salt to taste
• small bunch watercress leaves
• drizzles, white truffle oil

1. Clean the cauliflower and chop into small florets and set aside. In a soup pot, saute the onions and garlic in the grapeseed oil. Once they are softened add in all the florets and saute for 1-3 minutes, stirring them up from the bottom once in a while. Add in the stock and 1 cup whole milk. Cook on medium heat until it just starts to boil, being careful for it not to come to a rolling boil. Take the pot off the heat and using a hand held blender, puree the soup until no large visible chunks are seen.
2. Clean and wash the shiitake mushrooms, cutting off and discarding the tough stem. Cut the mushrooms into long slices and saute them in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they become small but before they turn crispy. Salt the mushrooms while they're cooking.
3. To the soup pot, add salt to taste, additional measures of ground coriander and nutmeg and the remaining 2 cups of milk. Puree the soup with your hand held blender again to create further creaminess. Gently heat the soup for 1-2 minutes to serve warm.
4. To finish, place a few watercress leaves, some sauteed mushrooms, and drizzles of truffle oil (a little goes a long way).
