As soon as there's a chill in the air, I start making soup. I generally make one a week during Fall and Winter.
Here's another great one that I love.
Here's what you'll need:
A Stock Pot or a Dutch Oven with a Cover.
2 Onions, diced
2 Carrots, diced
2 Ribs of Celery, diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
10 TBS Butter, divided
1 Head of Cauliflower, chopped
5 C Vegetable Broth
1/4 C minced fresh Parsley
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Tarragon
6 TBS Flour
1 C Whole Milk
1/2 C Heavy Cream
1/4 C Sour Cream
In the Stock Pot on Medium High Heat:
4 TBS Butter, until melted.
Onions
Carrots
Celery
Garlic
Sauté until tender.
Add:
Cauliflower
Vegetable Broth
Parsley
Salt
Pepper
Basil
Tarragon
Cover and Simmer for 30 minutes.
In a Saucepan on Medium Heat:
Remaining Butter, until melted.
Add:
Flour
Whisk well until completely incorporated.
Add Gradually with a Whisk:
Milk
Heavy Cream
Whisk well.
Bring to a Boil.
Continue Whisking for 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken, creating a Roux.
Add this to the Stock Pot.
Continue cooking on Medium Heat for 10 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens.
Remove from Heat.
Gradually Whisk in Sour Cream.
Serve Hot.
Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
