This creamy cauliflower soup is perfect as a nice, light appetizer for lunch, or you can even pair it with a crisp, green salad for dinner. It is rich and comforting but not too heavy. For extra taste and texture, slice a couple of cauliflower florets into ¼” slices and brown with the onion and garlic. Remove from the pan and set aside to add when garnishing with sour cream and croutons.
