Cheddar Cheese & Cauliflower Soup Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
4 tbsp: Butter,
3 medium: Carrots, cut into small dice
3 medium: Celery stalks, cut into small dice
1 medium: Onion, minced
3 tbsp: Flour,
1 1/2 cup: Chicken stock or canned chicken broth,
1/2 small: Cauliflower, trimmed and cut into
Florets, 2 cups
8 ounce: Mild cheddar cheese, grated (2 cups), plus
2 ounce: Cut into small dice for garnish, 1/2 cup
1 1/2 cup: 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 the carrots, celery, and
onion; saute for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the flour and cook over low heat until the flower is incorporated
into the butter, about 1 minute.
Stirring constantly, gradually add stock and then the cauliflower.
Bring to a boil and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, or about
5 minutes. Stir in the grated cheese and cook for about 30 seconds
until melted. (Do not bring soup to a boil after cheese is added or
the soup will break.) Stir in the half-and-half; warm the soup over
low heat. Season with cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste.
To serve, ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Sprinkle each portion
with the diced cheese and serve immediately.
Makes 4 seervings.
