The following recipe is from "Cooking with Daniel
Boulud," by noted New York chef Daniel Boulud (Random
House, 1993, $40), who notes in the introduction that
"this soup can be made into a more complete meal by
adding slices of cooked lobster or shrimp."

Warm the chicken stock over medium heat. Melt the
butter in a cast-iron pot over medium-low heat. Add
the onions, curry powder and saffron and sweat for 2
minutes, stirring often. Add the sliced apple and
sweat for another 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the
cauliflower and warm chicken stock and bring to a
boil. Boil until the cauliflower is tender when
pierced with a knife, approximately 20 minutes. Add
the cream and cook for 3 more minutes. Salt and pepper
to taste.

Transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food
processor and puree at high speed until very smooth.
Keep warm until ready to serve or refrigerate when
cool and reheat just before serving.
