SLOW-COOKER CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND WHITE BEAN SOUP
This creamy vegetarian soup is built on humble winter staples, but the addition of sour cream and chives make it feel special. (Crumble a few sour-cream-and-onion chips on top to take the theme all the way.) It takes just a few minutes to throw the ingredients into the slow cooker, and the rest of the recipe almost entirely hands-off, making it very doable on a weekday. If you have one, use an immersion blender to purée it to a silky smooth consistency, but a potato masher works well for a textured, chunky soup.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, cauliflower, beans, onion, garlic, vegetable stock, butter, wine, thyme, garlic powder and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 hours on low.
- Remove and discard the thyme sprig, and turn off the slow cooker. Add the lemon juice. To make a completely smooth and creamy soup, purée the ingredients using an immersion blender. (Or, purée the soup in a blender in two batches, transferring the puréed soup to a different pot.) To make a textured, chunky soup, smash the ingredients using a potato masher in the slow cooker. Stir in the sour cream and chives. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with black pepper, crushed potato chips and shredded Cheddar. For leftovers, gently reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave until it just barely bubbles around the edges; don't let it boil or the sour cream will break.

Steps:
- Cook the first 8 ingredients in the crock pot on high for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.
- Add to the soup an easy-roux made of 1/2 cup flour shaken vigerously in a mason jar with 1 cup of the half and half,( you may also in addition to shaking this mixture whisk it in order to smooth out all the lumps), the other cup of half and half and the cheese. Continue cooking the soup for another 30 minutes.
- To achieve a smooth consistency, mash the potatoes in the crock pot, adding some extra half and half or broth if needed. You may also put the soup in a blender afterward in order to have a creamier texture if desired. Some portion of the potatoes may be kept in their present whole state for the varied effect which is also great!
- Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley or other fresh herbs and side-toppings like coursley shredded parmesan and cheddar cheese, sour cream or plain yogurt and chopped fresh chives. Chopped crisp bacon also makes a nice meat-lovers' topping! Enjoy! Note: the 30-minute prep time really depends on how long it takes to get the potatoes, onion and garlic chopped and whether or not you choose to leave the potato skins on !

VEGETARIAN CREAM OF POTATO SOUP
I came up with this vegetarian recipe because I wanted a cream of potato soup that was easy and homemade. I looked online at recipes, took the basic amounts for the water, milk, and the flour, toyed with those, and got this. Easy, simple, fast, and amazing.

- Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the pan until golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in flour and mix well. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup milk slowly until well mixed. Pour into potato mixture and stir well.
- Cook until soup is thick and potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
