Fat Free Potato Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 cups onions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 medium cauliflower, sliced
• 6 cups water
• 4 cups potatoes, diced (I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes from the Dairy section)
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup skim milk
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup dried parsley

Directions

1. 1

   Heat canola oil in a soup pot and sauté onions, dill and thyme until tender.

2. 2

   Add cauliflower and cook a few minutes more. Add water and potatoes.

3. 3

   Cover and cook on medium heat until tender (approximately 30 minutes.) Remove from heat and blend approximately half the soup, about 6 cups, 2 cups at a time. I used my hand blender until it was the consistency I wanted.

4. 4

   Simmer on lowest heat, add bay leaves, salt, pepper and soy sauce.

5. 5

   Cook approximately 20 more minutes with top off.

6. 6

   Mix skim milk with cornstarch and stir (or shake) to get out lumps.

7. 7

   Add skim milk with cornstarch and check seasonings.

8. 8

   Thin with water or milk if soup has gotten too thick after sitting.

9. 9

   For extra flavor I used 3 cubes of Not-Chick'n bouillon seasoning but I figured the program would not recognize it. This product has a lot of sodium in it already so I did not add the 1 teaspoon salt.
