- In a heavy pot over medium heat, hot the oil.

- Add in the stock and cauliflower, a healthy pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium or possibly medium low to maintain an even simmer till the cauliflower is tender, 10 min.
- Puree the soup till smooth and frothy.
- Add in 1/2 c. light cream.
- Serve warm, garnished with a swirl or possibly puddle of the parsley cream sauce.
- PARSLEY CREAM SAUCE: Puree the ingredients, adding more cream as needed to thin.
- Just before serving, hot the sauce in a small pan or possibly at 70% power in the microwave.

- Description: "Cauliflower and onion soup garnished with parsley cream"
- Yield: 4 c.
- NOTES : "The charm of this easy and inexpensive soup is it's lightness.
- The trick is to blend and aerate it as close to serving time as possible" - like cappuccino.
- Good soup to make ahead and reheat; it will have more flavor.
- REVIEW: The soup was smooth and creamy; wonderful flavor; attractively fresh.
- I added a healthy pinch of cream of tartar to the soup during pureeing.
- Warning: use a light hand with the parsley cream.
- We tested with Italian flat parsley, that we think is milder than the curly variety.
- The parsley was too strong.
- This feeds 4 with bread on the side.
