CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH SPRINKLES

Steps:

Season with salt and nutmeg, then place in a blender and blitz until smooth. If you like, you can sieve the soup to make it even smoother - I think this makes a difference and doesn't take much more effort, but it's certainly not essential.
• To serve, bring the soup to the table in the pan with a ladle and little dishes of all the different things you want to serve as sprinkles. Let everyone help themselves. I like to take little servings of soup and scatter over something different each time for variety.
