"I got the recipe for this cream soup from a book entitled "Soup: superb ways with a classic dish", edited by Debra Mayhew. Its a great book with some interesting international style recipes. This recipe for walnut cream sounded good, so I decided to try it out. It was great!"

This is fantastic! I'm not a big cauliflower fan but have recently had to go to a low carb diet. My sister made this soup and it was WONDERFUL! To me it tastes like potatoe soup, even with the same consistency. Not what I was expecting from cauliflower. HIGHLY recommend.
