[quote=Anonymous]Agree on the soup. I make a big batch almost weekly, it's such a hit (with all ages!) at my house. It's a little time intensive, but somehow therapeutic.

To start, sweat some chopped onions and celery in olive oil. Peel and dice two potatoes. Add a carton of chicken broth and the potatoes to the onions and celery. Let those simmer for a few minutes while you're prepping the broccoli and cauliflower. Then add B & C to the rest. Adjust the liquid level with water so that everything is covered, but there's not a lot of extra liquid. Now, make a sharp cheddar cheese sauce. (My usual is butter, flour, milk, cheese, (mostly cheddar but maybe a little parmesean for added sharpness) white pepper, a touch of fresh nutmeg...) When all the veggies are cooked, scoop out about 1/3 with a strainer and set aside. Add the cheese sauce to the soup, blend with an immersion blender, and when it's all smooth, re-add the non-blended vegetables. Makes for a nice bit of texture in what would otherwise be a [i]veloute[/i]. Serve with crusty warm bread. Yum... wonder if I have any left over from last week...?[/quote]
