Mix the base with the 2 cups of water and pour into the blender, add the cauliflower florets, asparagus, cubes of parmesan cheese, and the salt and nutmeg.
Pulse the blender several times to break everything up and then select smooth soup.
When the smooth soup function is done, ladle into bowls and serve.
If you want to top it like I did. Make an egg over easy and cut with a 3" biscuit cutter. Place a few basil leaves on top of the soup. Add the egg and roasted asparagus on top and sprinkle a few red pepper flakes or freshly ground black pepper and some finely grated parmesan cheese.
You can also use 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock in place of the water & Minor's Vegetable Base or another base mixed in 2 cups of water.See written post for stovetop or pressure cooker instructions.Nutritional Values are the soup only, any toppings will change the values.
