Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cups cauliflower (one medium head, cut into small florets)
- 4 oz mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup milk (2%)
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 14 oz cannellini beans, canned drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cornmeal or whole grain cream of wheat
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large stock pot over medium high.
- Add the cauliflower, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the milk and broth, stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes.
- Add beans and continue simmering for 5 minutes until they are heated through.
- Remove from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree with a few pulses. You can leave a few chunks if you like, or make it as smooth as you want.
- Return to a medium low heat, and add the cornmeal while stirring vigorously to avoid any clumps. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes while the cornmeal thickens.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
