Cauliflower and Almonds Soup

This is an exclusive soup recipe which I learnt it from a TV Show..I modified it here and there.
This can be given to both kids as well as adults...Top it with butter while giving it kids
The original version includes corn flour in the soup.I didn't use it
Since cauliflower is made into a paste form kids will not refuse for sure
