Crock Pot Cauliflower Sweet Potato Soup

Soup! So awesome this time of year. I wanted to make a veggie heavy soup and found this recipe. It sounded totally delicious, but I wanted to lighten it up a bit and eliminate the evaporated milk. I came up with the following and am loving the result

Ingredients:

• 1 lb frozen cauliflower (keep it frozen and dump it right into the crock pot)
• 1 large sweet potato, cubed (no need to peel)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Combine the cauliflower, sweet potato, broth, onion, thyme, garlic, and ground red pepper in the crock pot and set to high for 3-4 hours.

Add the milk and butter. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a food processor) and blend until smooth.
