Break up the rest of the cauliflower into medium florets. If you have a small cauliflower, use the stem too - peel then rough dice.

Place cauliflower for broth in a large pot. Add zucchini, onion, whole garlic cloves, vegetable broth and water.

Place lid on, bring to boil then adjust heat so it's simmering energetically. Cook for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.

Transfer to blender, add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and milk. Place lid on, place tea towel on lid and hold down very firmly, then whizz to puree soup, starting on low then getting faster.
