Cauliflower and Cheese Soup

SALE: YOU’VE GOT MY ATTENTION! 🙂

There was a sale on  cauliflower last week at our local market. It was a  good sale and I couldn’t pass it up. Didn’t know what I’d make with it but since this March weather was cold and gloomy, soup would definitely hit the spot again. I remembered the cauliflower and thought I’d try a new recipe. I looked over a couple, then modified both to make my own. I’ll definately make it again. Made a big dutch oven full and it was eaten up in no time.

 

 

 

Serve up with warmed artisan bread or hot biscuits; maybe a fruit or cheese tray.
