I got a head of cauliflower from the co-op this last week and decided a good use of it would be Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup. Have you tried it? It's served at Cafe Zupas, a favorite restaurant of mine and yum- you'll love it!

Don't be afraid that it's made primarily from milk, water and cauliflower. I served it to my family without telling them what was in it. You know what? Even my husband had no idea! I told him it was cauliflower soup and he said he never would have guessed! It's rich and creamy and just tastes like a wonderful chowder.

I substituted Colby-Jack cheese for the Pepper Jack, being as that's what I had on hand. I think it would be fantastic with diced ham and maybe even some fresh tomato as a topping.

This is a "copy cat" recipe from a popular restaurant, so I didn't come up with the name myself. Funny though huh? I'm sure it has something to do with cheese!
