Cauliflower Soup

This is a crock pot recipe that my friend Michelle shared with me.  It's easy and low fat.  Just put everything in the crock pot and let it cook all day.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium sized cauliflower
• 2 C. of peeled and cubed potatoes
• 3 medium leeks
• 4 C. of chicken broth
• 1 T. Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
• 8 ounces of Swiss cheese cut in cubes

Directions:

1. Cut leeks lengthwise and wash well
2. Break cauliflower into pieces and rinse
3. Slice the leeks into semi-circles  
4. Add all ingredients into a crock pot, except Swiss cheese
5. Cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours
6. Using an electric mixer or stick blender, puree for a minute or so
7. Turn off crock pot and add cubes of cheese
8. Let cheese melt for about 5 minutes and then serve

Tips and Tricks:

• I use a Baby Swiss cheese for this recipe.  It melts smoother.
• You can use green onions if you can’t find leeks.  It tastes similar.
