Crisp Fall days call for warm soup nights. There are several ways to make this soup - steaming the cauliflower, boiling it in milk or in chicken or vegetable stock. I prefer the veggie stock because it really allows the flavor of the cauliflower to shine. You don't have to add the truffle oil but I think it makes a HUGE difference. You can also add other oil like a chive or Harissa to add color that really pops against the white background.
