• Cut the cauliflower florets into bite sized pieces or to your desired size. Be careful not to crumble the pieces on accident by pressing on or squeezing the cauliflower to hard.
• Fill the bowl with clean water and add about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice then stir it in. Now add the Cauliflower to the bowl and let it sit in there for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime you can prepare the rest of the veggies for the soup.

If you make homemade broth, which I highly recommend, then you can save the skins from the onions, garlic and potatoes for the next batch of broth you make. If your not making broth for a few weeks then you can freeze it.

• Peel potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes and put them in a large bowl with cold water, so they don't turn brown.
• Peel 1/2 a yellow onion and chop it into 4 pieces, peel 1 garlic clove.
• Now add the onion, garlic and 1/4 cup scallions (white part only) to a food processor and chop until desired consistency.

By this time the cauliflower should be ready to be rinsed.

• Place your colander or strainer in your sink and pour the bowl with the cauliflower in it, into the strainer, slowly so you don't get yourself wet.
• Now run cold water over the cauliflower for about one minute. Then let the water drain and set it off to the side for now.
