Step 1

Melt the butter in the Dutch oven on low while you use the fine dicer on your slap chop to dice the onion and shallot and mince your garlic however you choose

Step 2

When the butter is melted, turn the heat to medium-low and add the onion and shallot. Don’t add the garlic yet. Let these sweat (cook but not brown) stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Then add in the garlic.

Step 3

While the onion mix cooks, switch the chop slammer to the medium dice and peel and chop your carrots (slice them in half long ways), chop your broccoli, chop your cauliflower. Sometimes the cauliflower leaves big, cube-like pieces - I recommend chopping those up.

Step 4

To this mixture, add the flour and stir it around. It’ll clump up into a paste. Let this cook for about two minutes stirring often - this cooks out any possible flour-y taste.

Step 5

To the flour paste, add in the white wine and stir. This will make a slightly less thick paste - let this cook for 1 min stirring a few times. Next add 1.5 cartons of chicken stock a half carton at a time stopping to fully stir and incorporate after each addition.

Step 6

Add in the bullion, w sauce, hot sauce, some salt, pepper, and a few dashes of your favorite seasonings - free style it!

Step 7

Add in all of the veggies. The liquid might not cover it fully, that’s fine they will shrink down as they cook. Stir them into the liquid so all of them are coated. Cover with the lid and let it cook on medium, stirring every 5 mins or so. (Adjust heat as needed, you want a simmer not a boil) Your veggies are done when you taste a carrot and it’s however soft or crispy you like them - about 20 minutes.

Step 8

When the veggie are done, fully kill the heat and let it sit for 2 mins to let it cool enough to add the dairy - you don’t want the cream to split. Add in the cheese and give it a good stir then walk away to let it melt. You don’t need to stir it the whole time just wait 2-3 mins and give it another good mixing. Add the cream and stir.

Step 9

Soup’s done! Taste it and season it, recommended seasonings are above. They might sound weird but trust me it’s good! We serve it with Publix sourdough to dip. Enjoy!
