Total Calories: 196

Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1-inch florets
salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups (about) milk
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions:

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and salt to taste. Cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.

2 In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir well for 2 minutes. Very slowly stir in 2 cups milk and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the nutmeg and cream.

3 Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Puree, adding a little of the sauce, if necessary, to make the puree smooth. Transfer the puree to the pan with the remaining sauce. Stir well. Heat gently, adding more milk if necessary to make a thick soup.

4 Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the cheese and serve.
