Creamy Cauliflower Soup (New and Improved)

January 2019 update:  I wanted to update this recipe because it is still a favorite, but I make it a little differently than I did two years ago.  I now use 6 cups vegetable stock instead of 5 to make it a bit thinner (like my broccoli soup) and I use my emersion blender to puree it more.  Also, I previously used chicken broth, but have since switched to vegetable broth which I think has more flavor.  

The newer pictures in the brown soup mug show the more pureed thinner soup and the older pictures in the small crocks show the thicker soup.  You can make it either way, we just prefer the more pureed soup.  It is so good that the kids literally scrape every last bite out of the pot.  We seem to have just the right amount for our young family, but as the boys' appetites grow as they get older I predict I will be making double batches of this yummy cauliflower soup.  ​
