I made a pot of cauliflower soup yesterday. It should last me a week.

I don't have a real recipe, mostly just a list of ingredients.

Dice potatoes and onions. Add a Tbs or so of flour, stir, and brown
slightly in a bit of oil in your soup pot. Add a can or two of diced or
stewed tomatoes and some minced garlic. Add water. Bring to a boil. Add
bite-sized pieces of cauliflower. Season to taste. Simmer for an hour or
two - until cauliflower is done to your liking. Add water as necessary.

Made some yesterday...
Whizzed the potatoes and cauli stems in my $24.95 kitchen machine with some
evap milk, cream cheese and sour cream, cooked the florets in the remaining
chicken broth, added a tiny bit of parmesan and cheddar....

Hey, with some homemade bread, even the lil ones devoured it....

It's a family recipe and wouldn't taste right to me without the
tomatoes.

Agreed, tomatoes with cauliflower is "taste-in-ass".

With me as a kid it was canned Franco-American spaghetti for many a
lunch. I loved it. Mom also made regular Italian spaghetti for the main
meal once in a while.
