Caroline's Cheesy Crock Cauliflower Soup
I also like to add broccoli to this recipe. Just keep in mind that if you do add extra stuff, the nutritional info supplied at the bottom will not be the same :)
2 cups chicken broth
2 8-ounce packages frozen cauliflower
1 medium stalk celery, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp thyme
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup milk
1-1/2 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese
1. Throw all ingredients except milk & cheese into a crock-pot and cook on low until veggies are very tender, about 4-6 hours.
2. Carefully pour mixture into work bowl of food processor fitted with a steel blade or into blender container. Cover and process until smooth. Or, if you like it a little lumpy and bumpy, use a potato masher and have at it in the crock-pot itself; mash to your heart's delight.
3. Place the cauliflower mixture into a saucepan; stir in milk and cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and hot.
