Take this delicious cauliflower soup, shot for my column, "Life At Lulu's" for House Beautiful, which I topped with lightly roasted vegetables and bright chive and carrot oils, then added a grilled taleggio, mortadella and fig sandwich. Soup can be a full on meal, and just a tip- it's great if you want to slim down quickly!
