Mom is visiting for Easter and asked me to make a batch of Cauliflower Soup today. It's gorgeous and delicious!
1 small head cauliflower, chunked
1 carrot, slivered with peeler
1 small head cauliflower, chunked
1 carrot, slivered with peeler
1 small can chicken broth
2 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 stick butter
8 oz Velvetta cheese
salt, pepper to taste
Steam cauliflower and carrots in chicken broth for 8-10 minutes, covered. Break up the cauliflower into smaller pieces once tender. Make White Sauce with butter, flour, milk in a separate sauce pan (see below). Add white sauce to steamed cauliflower. Add chunks of cheese. Simmer on low heat until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
White Sauce
First, melt 1/2 stick margarine in sauce pan. Add 1/2 cup flour. With a fork blend until all flour is
gone. This is the secret part - Slowly add 2 cups milk while stirring vigorously with a whisk. Stop adding milk periodically until mixture thickens then add more. It’s sort of like trying to get the lumps out of a can of tomato soup. Start with a little milk. It’s easier to season the sauce with salt and pepper before adding it to the other items.
