How to cook deliciously - Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

1. Stage

Sauté the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic: Heat butter in a large 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven or thick bottomed pot on medium high heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the onions are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more.

2. Stage

Add the potatoes, stock, cauliflower, bay leaves, thyme, salt and black pepper: Heat on high and bring the stock to a simmer. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely tender.

3. Stage

Purée until smooth: Remove from heat and remove the bay leaves. Either using an immersion blender or a standing blender, purée the soup mixture until completely smooth.

4. Stage

Add the cheddar cheese and Worcestershire: Slowly add the grated cheddar cheese, continuing to purée the soup as you add the cheese, until completely blended. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
