It would take me more than 10 minutes to prep a cauliflower. Can frozen cauliflower flowerettes be used instead?
Absolutely!
Thank you for your reply! I know chopping up a whole cauliflower would take some time for me- with arthritis in my fingers. I love to make soup so I look forward to trying this one!
