Cauliflower soup is pure comfort food at its finest. So good to curl up with a bowl on a cool evening and veg out reading a good book or watching your favorite TV program. I made a pot of it last night and my son took it to church with him because they have a potluck every Wednesday before services and it was a big hit. It is totally delicious and I hope you'll try it out soon.
Cauliflower Soup
5 c. water
2 c. milk
1/3 c. flour
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium head of cauliflower
1 carrot
1 stalk of celery
1 chicken bouillon
3 T. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
In a large pot, break up the cauliflower into small, bite sized florets.
Cut up the carrot and add it to the pot.
Now, cut up the celery and add it in too.
Add in the water, bouillon, onions, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once it begins to boil, turn it down a bit and cook for 15 minutes.
As the cauliflower is cooking, get out another pot and begin to make the rue that is needed. To do so, add your butter to the new pot. Turn your stove onto medium and melt your butter and let it get very hot to the point it is close to darkening. Once it begins to darken, whisk in your flour. Continue to whisk it until it is all mixed together and then whisk in the milk. Cook and stir until it is thickened. Once it is thickened stir it into your cauliflower mixture. Stir well and then stir in the cheese.
