You'll never have to beg me to eat cauliflower; I love it and always have! This soup has a lovely flavor and silky texture. Just the right thickness. I used fat free half and half for the milk but that's all I did differently. The parsley garnish adds a nice splash of color and flavor. Thanx for sharing!
