MAKE IT MONDAY (soooooooooup)

Cauliflower is not a favorite vegetable in our family & it is often forgotten in the fridge. We think it has something to do with it's bland taste and color. Our dad describes it as the "plain Jane" vegetable. But who knew this lone ranger vegetable could become something so tasty when made right. We stumbled across this recipe on pinterest (yay for pinterest) and made a few of our own tweaks. This soup is super easy, involves only a few ingredients, and brings out a cauliflower's best features.

Try it...

All you need is:
1. one head of fresh cauliflower (broken into little pieces)
2. about 3 tbs of olive oil
3. one sliced medium onion
4. 41/2 cups of water [not all at once]
5. 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese [you can use the can kind]
6. salt & pepper
7. parsley, dried (or fresh) chopped chives, & drizzle of olive oil (for decoration)

Process:
1. Heat up the olive oil in a pot.
2. Toss in the onion slices but do not let them brown. (15 minutes)
3. Add in the cauliflower, salt, and 1/2 a cup of water. Raise the heat and then cover the pot. (20 minutes)
4. Add the rest of the water (4 cups) and let it simmer (on low) uncovered. (20 minutes)
5. Stir in the parmesan cheese and some salt & pepper.
6. Get out your blender & blend the almost soup in batches until it is creamy.
7. Leave it sitting back in the pot for about 20 minutes so that it can thicken a little bit.
8. Pour it in cute serving cups! Add some parsley, chives, & olive oil drizzle on top!
9. ENJOY! :]

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did :]
