Potato Cauliflower Soup
"This is adapted from the Horn of the Moon cookbook. It is very yummy and easy to make. Filling, but low-fat. Serve with a crispy spinach salad. You can puree it with a hand blender, but leave a few chunks for texture. It is important that you use a good stock. It will affect the taste of the dish! Garnish with fresh chopped parsley."

ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme

Thick and flavorful! The amount of herbs is just right. I used chicken stock in place of vegetable. I used russet potatoes, so I did peel them. I loved the partially blended texture..... it was creamy and thick, but yet still had some chunks of potatoes and cauliflower. Thanx for a great new low-fat soup recipe! This will make some great warm lunches this winter! -
I made this soup for my daughter. Even without dill and parsley-which she dislikes- it was excellent. I had no heavy cream so made a light white sauce using evaporated milk. Definitely a 'keeper'! -
This had a great flavor. You could taste the cauliflower without it being too cabbagey. The potato flavor was ther too. I followed the directions exactly. I will make this one again. -
It was okay after adding some Parmesan, but still needed something... -
This soup was by far one of the best and easiest I have made. I added a large clove of garlic, used a whole head of cauliflower, increased the stock to 5 -6 cups, also omited the soy sauce as i used sea salt. So good we ate soup for 3 days straight! Thanks for posting an excellent and healthy receipe.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
