Cauliflower Soup

Yesterday (19 Nov 2013) we had a potluck with soup and salad in our apartment. My friends made very delicious dishes and we decided to share our recipes to everyone. This was our starter soup. It was so tempting that all kids enjoyed this soup. I really loved it. Thanks to Nirmala for her soup and recipe ;-). She also prepared Sweet corn soup that was also equally tassttty...!! :-) my mouth starts watering when I think of these two soups... :-P
