Cauliflower Cheddar soup solves the "He loves cauliflower and I don't care for it" problem. Very nice. I add in some extra herbs and seasonings as they occur to me - a little jalapeno or "Seven spices" or curry or....

Cauliflower Soup
2 tablespoons butter_
1/2 cup chopped onion_
3 cups coarsely chopped fresh cauliflower_
1 - 10 ounce can condensed chicken broth (or vegetable broth)_
1/4 cup all purpose flour_
2 1/2 cups milk_
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese_
salt and pepper_buttered croutons_
chopped parsley
Melt butter in large saucepan. Sauté onion until tender. Stir in cauliflower and condensed chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Smoothly combine flour and milk. Add the mixture to the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens.
Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into soup bowls. Sprinkle with buttered croutons and parsley.
