I agree with you, Dawn…Christmas always seems like it’s so far away, and then all of a sudden, it’s here. And then all of my recipe ideas just get moved to the list for next year. I hear ya! ๐ Anyways, I love a good soup, too, and this cream of cauliflower sounds like a winner. It sounds perfect for cold, snowy days…like today!
