THIS CREAMY, SIMPLE, AND HEARTY SOUP WILL WARM YOU UP AND KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE! IF YOU SKIP THE BACON, ITâS VEGETARIAN.
INGREDIENTS
1½ lbs. (700 g) russet potatoes, peeled (about 3 medium)
½ cup (125 mL) vegetable broth
4 oz. (125 g) sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup/250 mL grated), plus more for topping
2 cups (500 mL) cauliflower florets (6 oz./175 g)
3 cups (750 mL) milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
1 tbsp (15 mL) Three Onion Rub
½ cup (125 mL) sour cream
Optional: Bacon bits, chopped green onions
DIRECTIONS
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Add potatoes and broth to the RockcrokÂŽ Dutch Oven. Microwave, covered for 11 minutes.
Meanwhile, coarsely grate the cheese.
Rotate the potatoes and add the cauliflower. Microwave, covered, 7â9 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Coarsely mash the potato and cauliflower mixture. Add the milk, butter, and Three Onion Rub. Microwave, covered, until hot, about 4â5 minutes.
Place the sour cream in a small bowl. To temper, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) of hot soup at a time, whisking between each addition until the mixture is warm. Then add the sour cream mixture into the soup. Stir in the cheese and gently whisk until it fully melts.
Top with additional cheese, bacon, and green onions if you like.

Cook's Tips:
When cold dairy is mixed into a hot sauce, it can curdle. Thatâs why tempering is your friend; it gradually brings your hot soup and cold sour cream to a similar temperature before combining them completely.
