Soup is much easier to prepare if you have some of the vegetables already cooked, like in this creamy cauliflower soup. You can steam the cauliflower a day ahead, and the soup will be ready in less than half an hour. Thick, flavorful, and filling, it gets a lovely herbal flavor from the addition of poblano peppers. To puree the soup all at once, use an immersion blender. If using a stand blender, don't fill the bowl more than halfway.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the pepper and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the cauliflower, milk, 3 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, about 8 minutes. The milk may curdle or separate, but don't worry—the soup will be smooth in the blender.

Let cool slightly, then pour into a blender and blend in several batches until completely smooth (or blend in a saucepan with an immersion blender).
Return the soup to the pan and adjust the consistency by adding a little water, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sour cream and chips, hot sauce, and lime.
