Ingredients
- 2 heads cauliflower
- 1 russet potato
- 5 ounces cheese grated
- vegetable stock or chicken stock
- salt and pepper
- spring onion finely chopped
Instructions
- Clean the cauliflower and peel the potato. Separate cauliflower in small florets and cut potatoes in cubes.
- Transfer cauliflower and potato to a large pot, add an inch of water and some salt and cook until vegetable and potato are tender. This is about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain, but keep the liquid; you will need it again.
- Transfer the vegetables to a blender and pulse until smooth or use an immersion blender and work inside the pot.
- Add the cooking liquid back into the mix and add vegetable stock until you reach the thickness you prefer.
- Add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Add more stock if needed.
- Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Divide the soup over 2 or 4 bowls or plates and sprinkle with some grated cheese and finely
Notes
- If you want more flavor to the soup, try to roast the cauliflower in the oven, instead of cooking in water.
- If you want more crunch. Add some tiny florets of raw cauliflower or sprinkle with some crisp bacon.
- This recipe can easily be for 2 people; two bowls for now and 2 for the freezer.
