Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Candles and Cauliflower Soup




 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is 'Candles'.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  


I made this cauliflower soup and wanted to share the recipe here.

1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 head of cauliflower cut into florets (can also use frozen)
1 chicken bouillon cube plus 3 c water
( or can use 3 c low sodium chicken broth)
2/3c grated cheddar
4 tbs light cream
1 potato chopped (optional)
2-3 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp pepper
salt to taste

heat oil, saute onions, garlic.  Then add cauliflower (and potato if using), add bouillon cube, water (or stock if using).   Bring to a boil and simmer 20 mins until vegetables are cooked.  add cream, cheese, pepper and salt to taste.  You may not need any salt.  I chose to blend the soup.

Welcome to February!

  6. I love the atmosphere of burning candles but sadly the smoke or scent or both bothers my breathing. Nice painting! I was in Michael's recently. Seeing the small canvas, I thought of you. :) Have a doodletastic week!
