Cauliflower and Celery

You will see that this soup recipe calls for the vegetables to be already cooked. One way to do this would be to increase the amount of liquid used by half and cook the veggies in that. You could then just blend the result.

I use white pepper for this dish, but you can of course use black if you prefer.

Finally, stir in the cream and serve decorated with the chopped cilantro.
