Summer Cauliflower Soup

Sorry for my erratic  blogging lately.I have been away in France and I learned how its essential if your wine tasting and driving that you have to do that spitting of the wine into the spit-tune.Ill be doing a blog soon on my wine adventure soon.
Today I want to share a fine soup with an in season veg that is much over looked by myself.The Cauliflower this is a light summery soup which is simple to make and can be made with a variety of ingredients which most of us would have in our cupboard.
                              
Ingredients (enough for 2, double for 4)

1/2 cauliflower
2 small onions 
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
6 dl semi-skimmed milk 
43g grated parmesan or any other mature cheese OR in the event of no cheese in fridge, replace half of the milk with cream 
25g butter 
pepper, generously 
salt, generously 
                           
                            
                              
For a thicker winter soup grate 1 big potato and add with milk and cauliflower.

Chop up the onions and garlic saute them lightly. 
Add milk, chopped cauliflower heads, garlic and onions into a pan and bring to boil. Then turn the heat down and let simmer for about half an hour until cauliflower is soft (and potato, if using one). Then add the cheese, butter and spices and mix in a blender. Serve immediately.
