Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup carrot, chopped
2 cups potatoes, chopped
2 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon dill
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (grated) or 1 1/2 cups Velveeta cheese (or comb)
1 (8 ounce) can evaporated skim milk
1 hot banana pepper

1
salt to taste In a large stock pot, saute onion, garlic, celery, and carrots till tender.
2
Add stock or water to pan with potato cubes, cauliflower and banana pepper.
3
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or till vegetables are tender.
4
At this point, add seasonings, except salt. Taste for heat, and if ok, remove banana pepper now.
5
If you like it hotter, leave till desired heat is achieved, remembering that reheating the soup will make it hotter each time. Next, add the milk and heat to a slow simmer.
6
Now, add the cheese. I use 1-2 cups of Velveeta, and or sharp cheddar cheese shredded, and stir in until melted.
7
Now salt to taste and serve.
8
NOTES : If a banana pepper is unavailable, use crushed red pepper flakes.
9
I also add shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the Velveeta.
10
I also like the caraway flavor and add more than my Mom does.
