Instructions:

Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup onions, diced
1 cup cauliflower, diced
1 cup potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup carrots, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 cup (946 ml) chicken broth
2 T (29 g) butter
4 oz (113 g) smoked ham, diced
5 oz (142 g) Gouda cheese, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
8 1/2-in (13-mm) slices baguette, toasted

Directions

Place oil in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until soft; add cauliflower, carrots and potatoes; saute 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and simmer. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small pan; add ham; saute until lightly browned; add to soup. Reduce heat to low and cover, simmering until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Pour soup into 4 individual ovenproof bowls, topping each with 2 bread slices and one quarter of cheese. Place under broiler until cheese is bubbly and serve immediately.
