I first had this dish -- from ''French Provincial Cooking,'' by Elizabeth David -- at a dinner party that Jasper Conran gave years ago. I have been making this favorite of Madame Recamier and Franois Rene de Chateaubriand ever since.

Steps:
- Separate the cauliflower head into florets and steam until soft, about 15 minutes. Purée in a food processor.
- Heat chicken broth until boiling. Add cauliflower purée, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the milk and taste. If it is too salty, add a little more milk. Add the butter, and stir until it melts. Whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup water in a bowl until blended. Pour through a sieve into the soup. Whisk soup until blended.
- Return soup to the stove and whisk over medium-low heat until it thickens into a cream. Taste and add salt if necessary.
