Farmer Boy Recipe - some hot soup for cold days!

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to post a recipe on here - so I hope everyone remembers that I do that! :)
The recent cold snap had me making soup just about every day!  Most of those are found in my archives, but I don't think this one is there.

Farmer Boy Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients:

1 head of Cauliflower

1/4 Cup of water

1 Tablespoon of butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

4 - 5 Cups of chicken or vegetable stock

1/3 Cup of cream or half & half

salt & pepper to taste

Directions: Place the butter into a stock pot, over medium low heat.  When the butter is melted completely, add the water.  Add in the onion and garlic.  Cover and cook till tender (about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally).  Wash and break apart the cauliflower and place it into the pot.  Add the chicken stock.  Bring to a boil.  Simmer for about 15 minutes.  Remove half of the cauliflower and puree it.  Place this back into the pot with the rest.  Stir in the cream and seasonings.  Cook for another 15 minutes or so.  

Serve with snipped chives, parsley or dill.

If this doesn't do it for you; go to my archives and find another soup - any of them are hearty and filling on a cold winter day!  :)
