How is it possible for a few vegetables and chicken stock to produce something so creamy? So velvety? So smooth? So delicious?
We love cauliflower. We love it in a gratin, boiled, mashed, roasted or fried. I can't believe it never occurred to me to blend it into a soup. That's why I need French Fridays. That's why I'm thankful for Dorie's cookbook Around My French Table.
I topped my soup with bacon, thanks to a heads up from Cher and some fried thyme leaves. I'd never fried thyme before but it is actually quite good with a bit of salt. Just be sure its really dry before dropping the leaves into hot oil!
I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season. My out of country Christmas cards went out yesterday. The rest will go today. Thank you to everyone participating in the card exchange. I LOVE Christmas cards:)
