Description

DuBarry Cream is a French purée soup made from cauliflower. Its origin is linked to a noblewoman named DuBarry, who, besides her culinary talents, possessed other qualities that helped her rise from humble beginnings to high society. During the French Revolution, the newly titled lady lost her head, and according to legend, her executioner was one of her former lovers. Myths aside, here’s the reality: after the revolution, chefs left without their wealthy patrons traveled across Europe, taking recipes and tales of French haute cuisine with them. One such iconic dish that emerged was the DuBarry cream soup.
