Preparation

Cream of Cauliflower Soup

In a large saucepan, soften the onion in the butter. Add the cauliflower, broth, potatoes, and garlic and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
In a blender, purée the soup until smooth. Add the cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add broth, if needed.

Garnish

In a non-stick skillet over high heat, quickly sear the foie gras on each side. Season with salt and pepper. Immediately place the foie gras in a small bowl with the cooking fat.
Ladle the soup into four bowls and garnish with the foie gras. Drizzle with the remaining fat. Sprinkle with chives.
