Being that I'm creative with my cooking and baking I like to add my extra touches and do not follow recipes exactly. I will try to be as clear as possible.

Saute about 1 tablespoon flour in oil until it's brown and also a few cloves of garlic (optional).
Add water. Once it is hot and cooking add a few teaspoons or tablespoons consomme (chicken soup flavor) depending on the size of your pot or soup. Then add frozen cauliflower. I usually add at least half a pack but again that depends on the size of your soup. I also sometimes will add frozen peas. Cook for about half an hour and a yummy soup aroma should be filling your house.
To make sure you added the right amount of consomme you should taste the soup while still cooking. Be careful!!!. Rather put in less than more as you can always add more if needed (while cooking).

Good Luck!!!

will it be thick or watery? you have hardly any liquid in the recipe.

I make it watery, it depends on how much water you add to the pot after you saute the garlic and flour. I fill a little more than half of the pot with water. And then add the veggies and the consomme.

BTW-I just did it with a medium sized pot and added 3 heaping teaspoons of consomme. It was delicious.

Just curious, what does sauteing (sp?) the flour do?

Defy, if you've ever tasted raw flour in a roux, you wouldn't ask that ?

I just looked it up. I'd never heard of the term before.

Defy, the flour becomes like a paste and then thickens the soup nicely. I have a bunch of soups that call for a "roux" and it makes for a nice soup!
