One recipe uses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.closetcooking.com\/2012\/02\/roasted-cauliflower-and-aged-white.html?m=1\">roasted cauliflower, aged cheddar, garlic and fresh thyme,<\/a> while the other uses <a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/cooking\/2009\/01\/cauliflower-soup\/\">carrots, a little bay leaf, and lotsa cream<\/a>, so I made a hybrid version. Shallot, garlic, carrot, thyme, bay leaf, nice and singed roasted cauliflower, veggie broth, a little roux, milk, heavy cream, sharp cheddar, garnished with bacon! Heck yeah! This turned out AMAZING even though it&#8217;s really unphotogenic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-231732.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-231732.jpg\" alt=\"20130217-231732.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also baked some bread. Yep, me. It was suuuuper easy, which was the whole gist of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexandracooks.com\/2012\/11\/07\/my-mothers-peasant-bread-the-best-easiest-bread-you-will-ever-make\/\" title=\"original blog\">original blog<\/a> and why I pinned it at all, but it did fall a bit when it cooled. No matter&#8211;it was absolutely HEAVENLY. The crust was crispy and buttery and the inside spongy and moist. While I was eating it while it was still warm I had a gut-level wonderment that we eat anything that isn&#8217;t bread. I mean, look at this motherfucker:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-232002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-232002.jpg\" alt=\"20130217-232002.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-232021.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.barrelofapples.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130217-232021.jpg\" alt=\"20130217-232021.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis soup and bread together made for one decadent homemade meal!
