No measurements, sorry!

Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Simmer cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen) in enough chicken broth to
cover*.

When they are tender, pour off and save most of the broth and
puree the cauliflower. Combine with the broth and simmer, adding a few
scrapings of nutmeg and fresh ground black pepper. Just before serving,
add half-and-half or a dollop of sour cream.

*chopped onion or a garlic clove can be added at this time if you want
more flavor; dill weed is a good spice for this mixture, also.

My late mother-in-law used to make lots of pureed cold summer soups,
vegetable or fruit.
