SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    salt to taste In a large stock pot, saute onion, garlic, celery, and carrots till tender.
  2. 2
    Add stock or water to pan with potato cubes, cauliflower and banana pepper.
  3. 3
    Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or till vegetables are tender.
  4. 4
    At this point, add seasonings, except salt. Taste for heat, and if ok, remove banana pepper now.
  5. 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. 6
    Now, add the cheese. I use 1-2 cups of Velveeta, and or sharp cheddar cheese shredded, and stir in until melted.
  7. 7
    Now salt to taste and serve.
  8. 8
    NOTES : If a banana pepper is unavailable, use crushed red pepper flakes.
  9. 9
    I also add shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the Velveeta.
  10. 10
    I also like the caraway flavor and add more than my Mom does.

    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.
