i sauted 2 onions and 2 tablespoons of jar minced garlic, added heaps of broccoli & cauliflower along with 2vege stock cubes and 8cups water (almost enough to cover). blended with a hand held blitzer, added 375ml evaporative milk, 1/2cup cream and 1/2cheese to help thicken and flavour. salt & pepper. was delicous!

Nice, but waaay too much cummin! Only needs a small amount.. I could only have half a bowl then I started to feel sick!

Yummy! I added Lite n'' Creamy Evaporated milk instead of whole milk which made it really creamy. This added about 30 extra calories per serve but heaps more calcium & protein. I''ll definately be making this one again.
