Cheddar Cheese And Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. Butter
- 3 med Carrots, cut into small dice
- 3 med Celery stalks, cut into small dice
- 1 med Onion, chopped
- 3 Tbsp. Flour
- 1 1/2 c. Chicken stock or possibly canned chicken broth
- 1/2 sm Cauliflower, trimmed and cut into Florets (2 c.)
- 8 ounce Mild cheddar cheese, grated (2 c.), plus
- 2 ounce Cut into small dice for garnish (1/2 c.)
- 1 1/2 c. Half-and-half
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper Salt
Directions
- NOTE: For a milder, sweeter tasting soup, substitute 8 ounces Swiss cheese for the cheddar cheese.
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add in the carrots, celery, and onion; saute/fry for about 5 min till the vegetables are softened. Add in the flour and cook over low heat till the flower is incorporated into the butter, about 1 minute.
- Stirring constantly, gradually add in stock and then the cauliflower. Bring to a boil and simmer till the cauliflower is tender, or possibly about 5 min. Stir in the grated cheese and cook for about 30 seconds till melted. (Don't bring soup to a boil after cheese is added or possibly the soup will break.) Stir in the half-and-half; hot the soup over low heat. Season with cayenne pepper and 1 tsp. salt or possibly to taste.
- To serve, ladle the soup into hot soup bowls. Sprinkle each portion with the diced cheese and serve immediately.
- Makes 4 seervings.
