Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Hanka's Note:

Delicious and easy to make soup. Creamy doesn't mean always fat. I use milk in the recipe but you can use cream for a richer flavor.

Delicious and so easy, we loved this soup! I did run my hand blender through the soup but not for long as I wanted some texture. We topped it with graded sharp cheddar cheese and black pepper and it was a terrific lunch with whole wheat buns. Thanks for posting! Made for Aussie Swap :)
