wow. It's been a long week already and it's only Wednesday. Is that possible? Trying not to think about it. The 2 year old finally is done with her 3 day fever spell but now is fussy/snotty/stuffy beyond belief and it's so sad. The 4 year old is doing so good with it all but getting the brunt of my stress, poor thing, and now I am getting the sore throat/sniffles. So, soup is on.
olive oil
2 leeks, chopped
1 head cauliflower, chopped
2 russet potatoes, chopped
2 TBL butter
salt, pepper and dried dill
carton of veggie broth
milk (or water)
I chop up 2 leeks and saute them for about 15 min in olive oil and salt and pepper with about 2 teaspoons dried dill. Then I add 2 tablespoons butter, 2 chopped potatoes (I don't even peel them) and a head of cauliflower, chopped. I saute this for another 10 min and then add a carton of veggie broth and bing to a boil, then simmer for an hour or longer.
I puree the whole thing in the pot using a stick blender adding milk until it's silky smooth (about 1-2 cups.) Yum. Add a salad and some bread and things are better around here for a little bit. (about 5 minutes.)
