Combining the creamy texture of baked potatoes with the subtle sweetness of cauliflower, this soup is both hearty and healthy.

Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sour cream until it's fully incorporated into the soup, giving it a creamy texture.
- 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.
