This soup, to be served with the Willamette Valley pinot, can be made ahead, reheated, and kept warm in a slow cooker. Prep: 15 minutes; Cook: 20 minutes. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots |
1 head (6 cups) cauliflower, cored and broken into florets |
1 pound (2 cups) cubed peeled yukon gold potatoes |
1 tablespoon butter |
3 1/4 cups organic chicken broth (such as swanson certified organic) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and add the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add cauliflower and potatoes to stockpot. Cover with cold water. Turn heat to high, and bring to boil. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer, uncovered, until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender, 15 minutes.
3. Remove pot from heat and drain, reserving a few cups of the hot cooking liquid. Add butter, broth, salt, and pepper. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Add additional liquid as needed to reach desired consistency (fairly thin is recommended). To serve, ladle into warm bowls and drizzle each por-tion with a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste.
