PEPPER JACK CHEESE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium frying pan melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken broth and drained diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour, salt and black pepper until smooth. Cook for a minute while whisking. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of whole milk. Cook while stirring until it comes to a boil. While continuing to stir so that you don't scorch the bottom of the pot, allow it to boil for one minute.
• Stir the simmered broth and veggies into the thickened milk. Add the pepper jack and the remaining milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until the cheese is melted. Do not let it boil.
• Taste and add a bit more salt and pepper if desired.

PEPPER JACK CHEESE CAULIFLOWER SOUP (QUICK)

Steps:

• Put the frozen veggies in a sauce pan with the water and cover on medium to high heat. Let them steam for as long as it takes to get them tender. Stir them around every once in awhile.
• While they are steaming, saute the onion in the butter with the spices until the onions are tender. Add the flour and saute just long enough to dissolve it. While you may be tempted to cut the butter way down, it makes a gravy that disperses flavor throughout the soup. To me, this is the key to a good soup base.
• When you think your veggies are done, pour your chicken broth into into your sauce pan with your veggies and bring to a boil.
• Add your onion/flour mixture to the sauce pan with the veggies and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Finally add your cheese and milk. Keep over the heat just until cheese is melted. Make sure not to let your soup even get close to boiling again after the cheese is added otherwise it will break down the cheese.
