Broccoli-Cauliflower Cheddar Soup


Ingredients:
iii cups chicken or vegetable stock, divided use
1 1/4 loving cup shredded extra abrupt cheddar
1/2 loving cup milk
1 medium onion, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 stem celery, diced
1 caput cauliflower, chopped into florets (about 4 1/2 cups)
1 caput broccoli, cutting into florets (about iii cups)
two tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
salt

Directions:
In a large pot, oestrus the olive oil. Add the onions as well as celery as well as laid upwards until the onions as well as shallot are soft as well as translucent. Do non allow them brown. Add the cauliflower, spices as well as two cups stock. Bring broth to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer as well as laid upwards 20-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender as well as easily cut, stirring occasionally. The broth volition non totally embrace the cauliflower but don't worry- stirring volition last plenty to ensure the cauliflower cooks through.

Using a regular blender or immersion blender, blend the cauliflower mixture until very, real smoothen as well as creamy. If y'all are using a regular blender, y'all volition in all probability bring to exercise this inwards steps therefore pour the blended soup into some other large pot equally y'all go. If using an immersion blender, y'all tin ship away blend the soup correct inwards the same pot. Once blended, add together the milk, remaining stock, vinegar as well as broccoli. Return to oestrus as well as allow to simmer until the broccoli is fork tender. Pulse the blender until the soup is generally smooth. Stir inwards the cheese as well as serve.

My thoughts:
I dearest the sentiment of broccoli-cheddar soup to a greater extent than than I genuinely similar the soup itself. It is only a picayune besides rich for me. I've seen "light" versions of the soup but they all appear to telephone telephone for reduced fatty cheese (blah) or using milk which I mean value makes the soup besides thin. I remembered how creamy this cauliflower soup was that I made (could it genuinely last 4 years ago?) as well as posted. That soup was rich as well as creamy but the trunk of the soup came from the cauliflower, non heavy cream. Why couldn't I purpose pureed cauliflower equally a base of operations for a broccoli soup? I experimented as well as I bring to say, the results were great. The cauliflower blends into a smooth, creamy soup that has a rich, thick mouthfeel without the remove for heavy cream as well as unless y'all were told, I don't mean value most people would justice that the "secret ingredient" was cauliflower. The broccoli as well as cheddar flavour is much stronger as well as of course of report complements each other only equally it does inwards the amount fatty versions.
