We are a huge soup family, so when I saw this recipe for cauliflower soup on Smitten Kitchen, I knew I had to give it a try. It was super easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, and even picky Charlie who hates trying anything new ate it all up — twice!
1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart chicken stock
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Coarsely chop the cauliflower and set aside. Heat the butter or olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cauliflower is very soft and falling apart, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat using a hand held immersion blender, puree the soup, or puree in small batches in a blender and return it to the pot. Add the parmesan and stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

The original recipe from Dave Lieberman says this makes 4-6 servings. It makes a lot, so unless you love soups like us, you may want to halve the recipe. I bet this freezes well though, and you could even omit the salt and feed it to your baby!
