Blended Green Vegetable Soup

1 very lg. head of cauliflower cut in 1/2" - 1" thick 'steaks.'
garlic salt and pepper
EVOO

Drizzle a baking pan with EVOO and put the cauliflower steaks on. Flip them so both sides are coated with the olive oil and seasoned. Put this in a 375° - 400° oven and roast until lightly browned.

My daughter came up to the lake this morning to cook with me. As we talked and chopped, I forgot to take a photo of the ingredients, so I'm going from memory, but I think I've remembered it all.

In a 6-8 quart soup pot, sauté the following sliced-chopped vegetables just until the onion is translucent, adding some cold, fresh water, as needed. You'll use a total of about 6 cups of water.

1 med. onion
6± stalks celery
5-6 cloves garlic
12-15 medium spears of asparagus
a big handful, or two, of shredded coleslaw mix

When the cauliflower is tender and the other vegetables have simmered 20 minutes or so, chop the cauliflower a bit and add it to the pot. Also add the spinach and onion soup and more water.

8-16 oz. fresh baby spinach
1 pkg. dry onion soup
celery tops

Simmer this on low until everything is soft. Take it off the heat for 20 minutes or so then blend it until smooth. Check the flavors and add whatever is needed. Garnish with a dab of sour cream and some smoky paprika and/or dill. This made 4-5 quarts of soup. . .Lin

  1. Water is the best choice for quenching your thirst. Coffee and tea, without added sweeteners, are healthy choices, too. Some beverages should be limited or consumed in moderation, including fruit juice, milk, and those made with low-calorie sweeteners, like diet drinks.
