½ cauliflower
½ pint / 300ml water or chicken stock
pinch thyme
pinch salt to taste
pinch fresh ground pepper
1 tsp / 5g cornflour
½ pint / 300ml milk
4 oz / 100g hard cheese or fromage frais
Instructions:
Cook the onion and cauliflower in the water until soft, together with the thyme, salt and fresh ground pepper. Mash these up with a potato masher or use a food processor.
Add a little cold milk to the cornflour and mix into a paste, then add the rest of the milk. Stir this into the vegetables.

This should be a fairly thick soup.
