Cheesy, broccoli, cauliflower soup

After I found out the contents of my CSA box for the week, and combining what was already in the fridge, I knew I needed a big, veggie consuming recipe. Onions. Celery. Carrots. Garlic. Zucchini. Cauliflower. Broccoli. I hunted around and altered one I found to meet my needs–thanks, Canary Girl.

Here’s my veggie intensive version of the satisfying soup. My modifications were pretty minor–used broth rather than bouillon. Didn’t have evaporated milk, so I used half and half. The recipe called for the use of an immersion blender, which I don’t have because mine died. I blended about half of the soup in batches in the blender which worked fine. I did learn the lesson of really trusting the DO NOT EXCEED THIS LINE FOR HOT LIQUIDS line on my blender. Still scrapping off bits of soup from the cupboard when the lid flew off during one batch processing. This makes a huge amount, so plan on serving a crowd, or enjoying leftovers!
