cauliflower puree soup

at the request of [livejournal.com profile] buddleia i post cauliflower soup, a swedish recipe from rutiga kokboken.

cauliflower soup (4 portions)

1 large head of cauliflower
1 t salt
1 T margarine/butter
1½ T flour
1 litre vegetable broth or bouillon
salt & pepper
1-2 egg yolks
1 dL whipping cream
optional fresh parsley & spices

divide the cauliflower into small segments and cook them soft in about half a litre of lightly salted water. (set aside a few blossoms for garnish if desired.) once cauliflower is soft, drain it and puree in a mixer or food processor. 

fry the oil and flour together and pour gradually into the pureed cauliflower; mix in vegetable broth gradually to desired thickness. let simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. spice well  (i favour a bit of rosemary, dill, plus a dash of nutmeg and cloves; also of course pepper and salt, and the salt's important).

whisk the cream and egg yolks together in soup tureen; pour the hot puree in while whisking. add the garnish of cauliflower bits and finely-chopped parsley, if desired.

i always end up with some broth left over. also, i frequently leave out the whipping cream entirely or substitute milk because we don't really keep cream around the house.
