Enjoy this delicious soup with help from your high speed blender (I use my #vitamix). Its very rich and creamy without using lots of heavy cream. That's right! Excellent as a quick soup for lunch or a simple dinner. Serves 1 to 2 persons.
Ingredients
1 onion, small diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
3 - 4 potatoes, small diced
3/4 - 1 cup water
1 bouillon cube, chicken
3 cups cauliflower, small chopped
2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
tt salt and pepper
Instructions

1. Sauté onion, garlic, and bay leaf in a bit of oil in a medium pot of your preferred size. Then add diced potatoes with cold water and a sprinkling of salt. Alternatively, add a bouillon cube with the water or replace water with chicken stock. Let potatoes cook approximately 6 minutes on simmer.
2. Add small chopped cauliflower approximately 3 to 4 minutes after potatoes have begun cooking.
3. If it goes mushy, it won’t matter (it's soup!). However, if you like a chunky soup, pull out a portion of potato or cauliflower. Once vegetables are fully cooked, add everything from the pot, including liquid, to the blender.
4. Add thyme to taste.
5. Using a high-speed blender or Vitamix on "Soup" setting, turn on high for approximately 6 minutes. It will thicken and heat thoroughly.
6. Taste soup and add cheddar, more thyme if desired, or salt and pepper.
Susie's Tips and Tricks
You may wish to add a thinly sliced carrot, or celery to your blender; raw is fine.
I didn’t add salt to the cooking potatoes as the chicken cube has plenty. Seasoning salt adds a lovely flavour to potatoes.
You may want to garnish with green onions or crumbled bacon.
Adding fresh herbs just before serving is ideal.
