In this amazing velouté soup, I combine a baked cauliflower purée with vegetables like leeks and garlic which bring its full taste out. Broth and cream give to the soup the appropriate fluidity, while truffle oil and sautéed mushrooms upscale this recipe to part of the haute gastronomie that you can easily prepare at your own kitchen.
