Gluten Free Cream of Cauliflower Soup 【花菜浓汤】

My husband N has not been well in the past two weeks, I made this gluten free soup for him yesterday with the hope that he will gain some strength. My son A had it for dinner and he liked it too!

俊爹上周做了比较大的手术，我这两周也因为他入院和手术的事情四处奔波，几近心力交瘁。这几天他出院后我倒是松了口气，除了接送孩子外，可以安心在家照顾俊爹，自己也可以多点时间休息。
他因为手术，脸部肌肉受影响没办法咀嚼食物，医院叮嘱了只能吃流质或糊状的食物，冰箱里刚好有之前买的有机菜花，晚餐加上腰果和核桃做成了这款浓汤，他虽然没胃口却也喝了半碗。晚餐也给了俊宝这款浓汤，他居然说很牙米，一锅汤给病人和小孩都补充了营养，很是不错。
