Cut up a yellow onion and a Yukon Gold potato and maybe a stick of celery.
Saute in butter and light olive oil until potatoes are kinda soft,
15 minutes maybe.Break up a small golden cauliflower by hand. Add cauliflower, 1/3 cup of yellow corn kernels, a little garlic, and a cup of dense homemade chicken broth. Add water as needed to cover; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or so.
Add a half cup or so of grated parmesan and/or cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup heavy cream, stir.
Season with sea salt, black pepper, Bell's, cayenne, tarragon, cheap sherry.
Remove a cup or so of cauliflower chunks and put the main lot into a food processor. Smush until almost smooth, add chunks back in.
This is good with toasted, buttered fingers of Ciabatta or herb slab and a golden wine.
