Cauliflower Soup

My sister-in-law is the hippest person I know and made this recipe a few days ago. It's so simple looking that I am giving it a shot tonight.

We just returned from France yesterday. During the trip we had velouté - pureed soup thickened with cream and butter probably -- a few times. At one restaurant, a pumpkin velouté (unfortunately disappointing), and at another, a delicious cauliflower velouté. That one was seasoned with cumin seeds. If this simple recipe doesn't turn out, my plan is to add half n half or heavy cream, give it a boil, and pour a cumin tadka on top.

To boot, DH is on a keto diet, but this is just cauliflower, onion, salt and water, so it's permissible in a small quantity.

Verdict: soup is good, especially for being just a little oil, water, salt and cauliflower. I still think adding cream is a good call for a thicker, yummier soup. Also, be sure to really choose a "medium sized onion" and not larger. I used a large onion and felt the onion flavor was overpowering.

This soup is a good base for other flavor adventures -- adding flavored oils, toasted nuts, cheese, other vegetables or meat.
