Cream of Cauliflower Shooters
Make this delicate cauliflower velouté before the party, but leave the spiffy garnish for a friend with finesse. Grab a guest with some artistic flair and ask them to go to town with roasted Brussels sprout leaves, pomegranate seeds, black pepper and olive oil. This soup is their canvas.

- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
