Cauliflower Soup with Potatoes and Cheddar
Serves: 5
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • ½ Yellow Onion, diced small
  • ¾ Head Cauliflower (medium), trimmed and chopped into 1½-inch pieces
  • 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes (large), peeled and cut into 1 inch peices
  • 4 c. Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 5½ oz. White Cheddar, shredded (1½ cups)
  • Sea Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Add cauliflower and cook until just beginning to brown.
  3. Add broth and 1 cup water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, 20 minutes.
  4. In 4 batches, carefully fill a blender with mixture and puree until smooth (be careful because soup will be hot!)
  5. Return pureed soup to pot and add more broth or water for a thinner consistency, if desired. Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper and stir again.
  6. Serve yourself a bowl, add a few red pepper flakes if you want to spice it up, and enjoy!
