Cauliflower Cheese Soup (or Simple Cream of Cauliflower Soup)
"This is my family's favorite cauliflower soup. Recipe found in Company's Coming Soups and Sandwiches. To make the buttered breadcrumb garnish simply make crumbs out of day old bread in the food processor (or crumble with your fingers), melt a tablespoon butter in pan, add 1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs and stir until well-coated."
