This exquisite cauliflower soup with onions, balsamic vinegar, and toasted lettuce is the embodiment of European culinary elegance. Its velvety texture is achieved through careful blending of ingredients, while the subtle tang of wine vinegar highlights the natural sweetness of the cauliflower. The lettuce adds a pleasant crunch and the pickled onions provide a light zestiness. This soup makes a wonderful start to a meal or a standalone light dinner. It is especially good on cool evenings when you want to warm up while enjoying a refined flavor. Simple to prepare yet impressive in presentation, it underscores the philosophy of modern cuisine—minimal ingredients, maximum flavor.
