Steps:
- Place a large casserole over medium-high heat. Heat olive oil until it shimmers, and add mushrooms. Season with salt to taste, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add cauliflower and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Working in batches, use a blender or food processor to puree soup until very smooth. Return soup to pan, and place over medium heat. Stir in cream, adjust salt and season with pepper to taste.
- To serve, stir soup, or carefully use an immersion blender to blend and froth top of soup. Ladle into warmed bowls and drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil into each. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
- Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
- Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
