Coconut Cauliflower Soup(easy)

No pics because my camera is elsewhere.

This is easy and very satisfying.

2 large heads of cauliflower
1 onion
3-4 garlic cloves
some butter
tandoori seasoning or curry powder to taste(maybe a tablespoon or so)
1-2 cups of water
1 can coconut milk
salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
feta or blue cheese to serve

Wash, trim and chop the cauliflower and onion.  Soften onion in the butter, add garlic and cauliflower and heat for a few minutes.  Add water and spice.  Bring to boil, cover and turn down the heat.  Let simmer until the cauliflower is soft, maybe 20 minutes, maybe 30, depends.  Using a potato masher, squish it all up in the pot.  Transfer to a blender in batches and process til smooth.  I do about 2/3 of it smooth and leave the rest ricey.  Add coconut milk, salt and peppers and heat it back up.  Serve with cheese, sour cream, butter, green onions, etc, etc.
