Cheddarific Cauliflower

Take a look at this cauliflower from my garden! Yes, it is indeed golden yellow and the name of it is indeed "Cheddar." So why not make Cheddar/Cheddar Cauliflower Soup. I love cauliflower. I love it raw and I love it cooked. I love how nutritious it is. Cauliflower contains two major disease fighters: indole-3-carbinol, or 13C, and the photonutrient sulforaphane. These are known to lower cancerous tumor growth. Cauliflower also contains vitamin C and folate. Three florets of cauliflower a day will provide you with 67% of your daily vitamin C requirement. "Cheddar" Cauliflower has 25 times the beta carotene and vitamin A of regular white cauliflower. So it seems to me that it is worth growing. The soup I created was a result of harvesting some potatoes, onions, and cauliflower.



So, here is the recipe:
Ingredients
3 heads of "Cheddar" cauliflower
48 oz chicken or vegetable broth
4 potatoes
1 onion
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 and 1/2 or milk to thicken
1 Knorr vegetable or chicken bouillon cube
dash or two of hot sauce
sprig thyme for garnish

Directions:
In a soup pot, boil cauliflower and pealed and chopped potatoes in broth until both are soft. (Save some cooked cauliflower florettes for garnish) Chopped and saute onions and add to pot. Cool slightly and puree in blender in small portions. Put puree back in soup pot and heat. Add bouillon. Add cheddar cheese and let melt. Add enough milk or 1/2 and 1/2 to thicken. Add a dash or two (or more) of you favorite hot sauce to taste. Serve warm. Garnish with florettes and thyme sprig.

It is Cheddarific!!!!!!!
