Jessica Bellis from Dacono, Colorado advises: If you wish to make a main dish of this substantial soup, accompany it with a loaf of whole grain bread, sliced cheese or ham, and a basket of tomatoes. Ingredients:
1 cup chicken broth |
1/2 small head cauliflower, broken into florets |
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 tablespoon butter |
1-1/2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash ground nutmeg |
dash white pepper |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the broth, cauliflower, onion and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Cool slightly. In a blender, process cauliflower mixture until smooth; set aside.
2. In the same saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and seasonings until smooth; gradually add cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in cauliflower mixture and cheese. Heat through (do not boil). Yield: 3 servings.
