Directions
Melt the butter in a saucepan.  Add the garlic and the onions and cook until onions soften.
Add the cauliflower and stir just long enough to coat with the butter. Do not brown the cauliflower.
Add the chicken stock, and boil until cauliflower softens.
Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly,and strain. Reserve the cooking liquid.
Add cream to cauliflower and puree with an immersion blender adding the reserved cooking liquid as needed.
