Ingredients
Corn, Potato, and Cauliflower Soup
| 7 lb 8 oz Red potatoes |
| 3 medium Onions |
| 3 cloves Garlic |
| ¾ cup Olive oil |
| ¼ cup, divided Kosher salt |
| 1 qt Chopped cauliflower |
| 1 qt Corn kernels, fresh or frozen |
| ¼ cup Chopped fresh sage or thyme (optional) |
| 2 qt + 1 cup Water, corn stock (see Notes) or a mixture of the two |
| 2 cups Milk, low-fat |
| 1 tsp Ground black pepper |
Corn, Potato, and Cauliflower Soup Directions
- Roughly chop potatoes. Place in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
- Trim, peel and dice onions.
- Trim, peel and chop garlic.
- Cook the onions, oil and 2 tablespoons salt in a large stockpot over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Add cauliflower, corn, garlic and sage (or thyme, if using) to the pot and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and add to the pot along with water (or corn stock) and the remaining 2 tablespoons salt to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in milk and pepper. Keep warm on the stove.
Notes
Notes:
To make corn stock, place about 18 corn cobs (with the corn kernels removed), 4 roughly
chopped onions, ½ bunch roughly chopped celery and 3 roughly chopped carrots in a stock pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Strain, cool and freeze, or use right away.
You can omit the corn and make Potato-Cauliflower Soup instead: Increase cauliflower to 2 qt and add 2 cups peeled grated white root vegetables (such as parsnips and/or turnips) in place of the corn.
Use 1 qt of roasted cauliflower in place of the raw cauliflower if you’d like.
