Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion in oil until just beginning to brown. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower, bring to a boil again and cook until cauliflower is tender, 2 to 5 minutes.

2. Remove half of cauliflower mixture and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I used an immersion blender. Return to pot with ham and cheese and cook until cheese is melted. Stir in potato flakes and heat through. Serve topped with cilantro.


Notes: Very tasty. I used white American cheese and no cilantro. I guess I didn't add the "southwestern" ingredients but it was a very good soup. Next time I will use the pepper jack and cilantro just to see the difference.
