It's not cold where I live, no snow either. But it's always soup
weather! :)

Looks very nice. I love cauliflower but not so much broccoli in soups,
the latter develops a bitterness when it is cooked for a long time...
or maybe I cook it for too long?

That looks very *right*, Jill.
Got a recipe for it or something close if you winged it?

Couldn't be easier. Steam the vegetables and set aside. Make a white
sauce (I used half & half, not milk). Throw in handfuls <G> of shredded
cheddar cheese (I used sharp cheddar). Stir in the veggies and heat
through. Adjust for salt & pepper (it only needed pepper).

One should always use half&half unless one has allowed oneself to run

That's a given. :) Spring and Fall are nice because I can open the
windows and be comfortable for a few weeks.

I love what you are doing. Wanna make it taste a bit better?

You say you used a "white sauce". Have you tried it with a real Fr
Béchamel sauce? That's a white sauce with jes a touch of Gruyere
cheese, wht wine, and nutmeg. I made it for my mac n' cheese. Tasted
a bit white wine-ish as a straight sauce, but turned out mega
excellent in the end mac/cheese dish. ;)

Nope, I haven't. But then I don't usually have Gruyere cheese in the house.

I'm sure you are. :) It starts getting warm here in April, maybe May,
and is pretty much humid, hot and uncomfortable through October. I
still make soup because yes, I have AC. I can't deal with extreme heat.
I do make and eat soup year round.

Thank goodness we don't have extreme cold here. It hovers in the 15-35F
range most of the winter, rarely getting down to 0F. We think of it as
a heat wave when it gets into the 80s. When it hits 90 they issue heat
advisories.

Your recipe is less involved than mine. We made this soup in 5 gallon batches for the restaurant. It was one of the customers favorites.

Here is a very simple version of my Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese soup. Ragu Cheese sauce makes it a snap to prepare.

1 head broccoli cut into flowerets
1 head cauliflower cut into flowerets
1 large onion chopped
2 (16-ounce) jars Ragu Double Cheddar cheese sauce rinse out with a 1/3 of water
1 (16-ounce) jar` Ragu alfredo sauce rinse out with a 1/3 of water
water not measured. see below
1 cup Real bacon bits

While that does look a lot like vomit, I bet that it doesn't smell quite as
bad as vomit.
