Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until the onion softens.

2. Add the cauliflower, potato, stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the soup and simmer it for 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

4. In a blender, puree the soup in batches, filling the blender one-third full each time. Reheat the soup over low heat. Add the nutmeg and taste for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper, if you like. Ladle into bowls
