Yikes!

It has been so long since I have posted!
I hope that you will accept this
delicious recipe as an offering
of peace. :)

I discovered this recipe on my 
sister-in-law Jaclyn's blog: 

 I was drooling from the moment I saw 
her pictures of the bowls filled with the steaming goodness!

I decided to give it a go, only making it in the crock pot.
Here is the link for the original recipe: 

The Pioneer Woman's Cauliflower Soup Recipe
Crock Pot Version

Ingredients
  • 1 stick Butter, Divided
  • ½ whole Onion, Finely Diced
  • 1 whole Carrot Finely Diced
  • 1 stalk Celery, Finely Diced
  • 1 whole (to 2 Whole) Cauliflower Heads (roughly Chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Or Dried Parsley (chopped)
  • 2 quarts Low-sodium Chicken Broth Or Stock
  • 6 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Half-and-half
  • 2 teaspoons To 4 Teaspoons Salt, To Taste
  • 1 cup (heaping) Sour Cream, Room Temperature

Preparation Instructions:

In a large soup pot or dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons butter. 
Add the onion and cook for a few minutes, or until it starts to turn brown.
Add the carrots and celery and cook an additional couple of minutes. 
Add cauliflower and parsley and stir to combine.
Remove from heat and empty veggies from pot into the crock pot. 
Pour in the broth, cover, and set temperature to LOW for 6-8 hours.
About one hour before serving: 
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. 
Mix the flour with the milk and whisk to combine. 
Add flour-milk mixture slowly to the butter, whisking constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup half-and-half. 
Add mixture to the crock pot and stir. 
Allow to simmer for 1 hour.
 Check seasoning and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
Just before serving, mix in the sour cream. 

Serve immediately.

Simmering happily

Goldfishies!

Even the toddler loves it!

As Jaclyn recommended, we added Goldfish crackers to
our soup, and now we are hooked! 

The only downside to this soup is that
it is so creamy and thick that you can
only eat about one bowlful at a time.
(Which really isn't a problem!)
