Time 40m

Yield 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
32 ounces chicken stock
4 cups water
2 (16 ounce) bags frozen cauliflower
1 small potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
salt and pepper (I needed at least 1-2 tsp salt)
1 dash nutmeg

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium. Saute garlic in butter over medium heat for 1 minute. Add cauliflower, stock, and water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes and add potatoes. Boil for another 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are very soft (fork goes right through them). Blend with immersion blender or blend in batches in blender. Add fat free half and half and heavy cream and stir. Add cheeses and lower to low heat, stir until melted. Add nutmeg, taste and season with salt and pepper. I would make some homemade croutons and serve the soup with two floating on top.
