I love cream of broccoli and cauliflower. I usually make a roux with flour, butter, milk and chicken broth. Love it!!! We have a roadside stand during the summer and you can get the biggest head of cauliflower, size of a basketball for $1 and a huge bunch of broccoli for 50 cents. Cabbage head, also size of basketball, for 50 cents. Needless to say I'm in hog heaven during the summer!!!
