I search for 'chase cauliflower cheese soup' and get 27 hits, most of them WFD threads, ACK!

I have lots of odds/ends cheeses after two dinners with friends.

TIA, and I'll clip it this time.

Hi Jessy, sorry I'm late seeing this post, I'm at the cottage and haven't been plugged in!

I really don't have a recipe It's a Nike recipe ...I "just do it".

Soften some chopped onion in some veg oil then fill your pot with chicken broth or veggie broth and dilute with a bit with water. Bring to the boil and add cauliflower, salt and pepper. If the cauliflower is already cooked you should keep the broth at a low simmer. Once cauliflower is cooked, let cool and then whir in the food processor until fairly smooth. I like it a wee bit chunky. return to the stove and add enough milk to make it somewhat cream but don't add too much. Grate whatever cheeses you have and add the grated cheeses until it reach the taste and consistency you like. adding more milk , as required, to thin. Adjust salt and pepper and enjoy!

The other thing I do with leftover cheeses is to grate them all up, add mayo, cream cheese, chopped green onions, bit of dijon, dash of Lea and Perin and mix the whole mess into a cheese spread adjusting the mayo as required. You can add whatever spices make sense as well. For example, a bit of chipolte powder (or canned chiplote) is a very nice addidtion to Mexican cheeses and roasted red peper or basil is nice with Italian cheeses. It's really just whatever you like added to leftover grated cheese, cream cheese and mayo.

I knew there was something else you did with odds and ends in addition to the soup but I couldn't figure out what it was!

I'm getting my stick blender out and ready to use, vrooom vrooom

Thanks!

LOL, cyn--got lots of soup left. I have two containers in the fridge and a large Ziplock in the freezer. Come by anytime--just make sure I know you're coming and if I don't have any in the fridge, I'll thaw out the one in the freezer! I wound up using Pastina rather than noodles, and did both the white potatoes and the sweet and it's really good! I like to use Butternut Squash in soups, too, instead of carrots. So yummy!!! I wish I had some celery to add to the pot, though! I think it would have been even better! I love left-over turkey anything, sandwiches, heated up as the main meat and just eating it cold, a morsel at the time! And, leftover pumpkin pie is the best!!!! Sigh--it won't last long though, will it! :o)

Congrats on your successful Neighborhood Potluck! The Mayan Hot Chocolate sounds delish, especially with it being below zero here today! "We hand mix our Mayan cocoa from an assortment of chiles, Dutch process cocoa, powdered hazelnut, Ceylon cinnamon and vanilla powder. Use 1 heaping tbsp. per cup of heated milk for a spicy yet heavenly Mayan drink. Sweeten as needed. This powder is also nice for baked goods or sprinkling on buttered toast, fruit and waffles. We also carry a Mexican Cocoa and a assortment of cocoa powders. " Can anyone figure out the recipe from the above description? Michelle

In his defense, he has very bad digestion--ulcerative colitis, so I think he is always worried he is going to aggravate it/have a flare up. But then he limits himself so much food-wise that then he binges on something. Like when he was bragging that he didn't salt his food or like salty foods, I pointed out that the crackers, breads, boxed meals, ham and salami and canned soups he eats are more loaded with salt than any amount you would get from a casual sprinkling from the salt shaker. He just got mad at me and said, "I don't want to argue about it, I'm just saying I don't eat salt." I've tried for DECADES to get him to create some healthy eating habits for himself. It will never work, better and smarter people than me have tried too. But cooking for him is sure a roller coaster ride. Some of his lady friends and neighbors tried cooking for him right after mom died, but they soon gave up! I just do what I can, try to detach, as long as he's not wasting away not eating, there's not much I can do about the quality of what he eats. The more I push for something healthy the more he pushes back, that is just his nature.

In a weird twist of fate I have every ingredient for cauliflower soup including a 4 dollar head of cauliflower that I forgot about. I've already got dinner planned but I'm going to make it today and eat it tomorrow and freeze the leftovers for after work meals. It sounds really good.
