Cauliflower Soup

Written By: Chris - Nov• 05•13

Our friend Lisa has been very kind and patient with me…  She first brought this soup over during a social gathering and since, I’ve made it several times download all photos van facebook!  But recently, I was looking the recipe and needed her to send it again!  I modified quantities of some of the ingredients, but she gets the credit for this delicious soup download printer drivers for free!

What’s unique about it is the use of Evaporated milk, also known as dehydrated milk, rather than cream.  It is a shelf-stable canned milk product with about 60% of the water removed from fresh milk download maps for free.  It’s used most often for desserts and baking due to its unique slightly caramelized flavor.  The evaporation process naturally concentrates the nutrients and the calories, so evaporated versions are higher in calories, while more nutritious than their fresh counterparts Download photos from icloud on macbook.  If you’re watching your weight, you want to look for skim or low-fat varieties, though I’m not sure the soup would taste the same.  While I was preparing this, I was reminded by the amount of butter (and flour) in this recipe and realized that this is a treat and not something I will be making very often download jewel quest for free in full.  I prepared it for our fall “girls weekend” hosted at Linda’s in Alexandria and everyone seemed to enjoy it!

Allow to cook at least ten minutes over medium heat so that it thickens.  Add additional fresh bunch of thyme (optional) for more fresh flavor.  Season with season with salt & pepper, to taste.  For a thinner consistency, add additional stock
