Cauliflower soup with pistachio cream

Imagine a bustling bazaar somewhere in Marrakech, where there are crowds of sellers and buyers, mountains of spices and incredible aromas. Now imagine the palace of some sultan, with bubbling fountains, cool marble and inconspicuous servants. What can unite two such different pictures? Let me tell you, this is our soup. You can also meet him at the bazaar, where he is poured from huge vats and served with ruddy cakes. But he will not be a stranger at a dinner at the Sulat's, served in a cup made of the finest porcelain. Prepare it and plunge into the wonderful world of Moroccan cuisine, where the simplest products turn into a real oriental fairy tale.
