Well, since it’s really feeling like winter here today, and since hrh/supervixen got me thinking about soup with the cookware glamour shot and chicken chili recipe on her blog, I’m making this for dinner later:
4 cups diced cauliflower, including tender core
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped canned or fresh tomatoes, or tomato juice
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 c flour
2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp soy sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Combine vegetables, water, salt, and parsley in soup pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until cauliflower is tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Work flour into butter to form smooth mass; drop by bits into simmering soup and stir until slightly thickened.
Gradually stir in milk. Add sry mustard and soy cause; heat through. Add cheese in stages, stirring to melt.
So, what are you doing to keep warm and stay entertained this weekend? Right now, I’m thinking it’s a toss-up between a trip to the batting cages or movie watching on the couch…so much excitement!
