Ingredients:

2 potatoes
740g
1 cauliflower
260g
1.50 cups chicken broth
360g
1.50 cups nonfat milk
370g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
6 tbsp chives
18g
10 tbsp cheddar cheese
70g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

2. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- While the potatoes are baking, wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer or a pot with a steaming basket until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Soup Base:
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and nonfat milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

4. Blend the Vegetables:
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the steamed cauliflower to the blender along with the potato flesh.
- Blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
5. Combine and Cook the Soup:
- Pour the blended potato and cauliflower mixture into the pot with the chicken broth and milk.
- Stir well to combine. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Let the soup simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add Sour Cream:
- Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sour cream until it's fully incorporated into the soup, giving it a creamy texture.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

- Before adding the potatoes and cauliflower to the soup, roast them in the oven with a little bit of olive oil to enhance their flavors.

- Blend only a portion of the soup if you prefer a chunkier texture rather than fully blending it to a smooth consistency.

- If you like a thicker soup, you can reduce the amount of chicken broth or add a bit of cornstarch slurry to thicken it.

- For additional flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or a bay leaf while the soup simmers.

- Top individual servings with extra cheddar cheese and chives for an added burst of flavor and visual appeal.

In just a few steps, you can create a delicious Baked Potato and Cauliflower Soup that’s rich in flavor and texture. The combination of tender potatoes, creamy cauliflower, and savory cheese makes this soup a delightful choice for lunch or dinner. Serve it with a side of crusty bread, and enjoy a meal that’s heartwarming and satisfying.
