Been so hot and muggy the past couple days we were just grazing, decided it was time to get back to a 'real' meal. With a surplus of cauliflower needing to be used, Cauliflower Soup seemed a good choice. This recipe has to be one of the best Cauliflower Soups I've made.The Chili flakes and basil make for awesome taste! The equal combination of the butter and flour thickens the milk beautifully. A lovely bowl of of this delicious soup made for a great evening meal(okay we had seconds) with enough left over to serve for lunch today.
