About the dish

Crème Dubarry is a French cream of cauliflower soup. It's typically made with a combination of cauliflower, butter, flour, milk, stock, onions, egg yolks, grated cheese, cream, and spices such as nutmeg. The soup is thickened with béchamel sauce (flour, butter, milk), then blended until smooth, and finally reheated and garnished with chopped chives or a dusting of paprika. The soup was named after Comtesse du Barry, the mistress of King Louis XV. Nowadays, whenever you see the term du Barry or Dubarry , know that the dish includes cauliflower.
