Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon olive oil - زيت زيتون
• 1 large onion (minced) - بصلة
• 2 garlic clove (minced) - فص ثوم
• 3 cup cauliflower (cut in florets) - قرنبيط
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg - جوزة الطيب

Step by step

1. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil on and sauté the onions followed by garlic on medium heat until softened.
2. Add cauliflower, sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir all for a couple of minutes before adding warm broth.
3. As soon as the mix starts boiling, bring the heat down, cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes - until you feel the cauliflower florets are cooked through.
4. Stir in the milk making sure the soup is still simmering.
5. Using a blender or a handheld mixer blend the mix into a creamy soup consistency. You can add some cooking cream if you like and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Dust the soup with some paprika powder for garnish.
