Mom's Excellent Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
Directions
1
salt to taste In a large stock pot, saute onion, garlic, celery, and carrots till tender.2
Add stock or water to pan with potato cubes, cauliflower and banana pepper.3
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or till vegetables are tender.4
At this point, add seasonings, except salt. Taste for heat, and if ok, remove banana pepper now.5
If you like it hotter, leave till desired heat is achieved, remembering that reheating the soup will make it hotter each time. Next, add the milk and heat to a slow simmer.6
Now, add the cheese. I use 1-2 cups of Velveeta, and or sharp cheddar cheese shredded, and stir in until melted.7
Now salt to taste and serve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : If a banana pepper is unavailable, use crushed red pepper flakes.8
I also add shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the Velveeta.9
I also like the caraway flavor and add more than my Mom does.

pureed but left some cauliflower chunky; would not use the cheddar next time as it becomes stringy

This was excellent ! I used 5 cups cauliflower (instead of the 2 cups in the recipe)since I had a large head of cauliflower and added 2 cups of water to compensate for the extra cauliflower. My recipe made 14 one-cup servings.

This is a very nice soup, and doesn't take long to make....about 50 minutes from begining to end, because of preparing the ingredients. I did not have the banana pepper or the red pepper flakes, so I used Tobasco sauce....just a bit, because I don't like too much heat. The next time I make it though...I think I will double the recipe, because it tastes even better the next day! I also used about twice the amount of caraway seed. It is what really makes this soup, I think. I also used a potato masher to mash up some of the ingredients before serving. Cathy in Ontario.

Great recipe. Like others, I blended a good deal of it and left some chunks. I hate evaporated milk so used ordinary.
