CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Notes

  • Chop or cut the cauliflower florets into small pieces. Avoid the main stem of the plant as it is too tough.
  • Simmer the cauliflower until is fork tender. That means when it is pierced with a fork it glides through with very little effort.
  • Use a good quality cheddar and use the finer side of the box grater so the cheese melts quickly and easily.
  • You can use an immersion blender or stand blender to puree a portion of this soup to make a thicker base. If using a stand blender remove the fill cap on the lid so the steam can escape while blending.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave at a reduced power.
  • Freeze in heavy duty freezer zipper bags or sturdy freezer containers for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
