Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon margarine

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 28 ounces vegetable broth

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 head cauliflower, finely chopped

  • 1 large potato, peeled and chopped

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

Directions

  1. Melt margarine over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

  2. Pour vegetable broth and water into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and potato; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until potato is tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Stir red peppers and evaporated milk into the simmering mixture and heat for 2 minutes more. Pour soup carefully into an electric blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return soup to the Dutch oven and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, until thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes more.
