Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 cups onions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 medium cauliflower, sliced
• 6 cups water
• 4 cups potatoes, diced (i used 1 package of simply potatoes from the dairy section)
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup skim milk
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup dried parsley

Recipe

• 1 heat canola oil in a soup pot and sauté onions, dill and thyme until tender.
• 2 add cauliflower and cook a few minutes more. add water and potatoes.
• 3 cover and cook on medium heat until tender (approximately 30 minutes.) remove from heat and blend approximately half the soup, about 6 cups, 2 cups at a time. i used my hand blender until it was the consistency i wanted.
• 4 simmer on lowest heat, add bay leaves, salt, pepper and soy sauce.
• 5 cook approximately 20 more minutes with top off.
• 6 mix skim milk with cornstarch and stir (or shake) to get out lumps.
• 7 add skim milk with cornstarch and check seasonings.
• 8 thin with water or milk if soup has gotten too thick after sitting.
• 9 for extra flavor i used 3 cubes of not-chick'n bouillon seasoning but i figured the program would not recognize it. this product has a lot of sodium in it already so i did not add the 1 teaspoon salt.
