Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 1/2 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 pound cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups canned vegetable broth
6 French bread slices (1-inch-thick)
12 ounces Gouda cheese, wax removed, cheese sliced

Instructions

Melt butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add potatoes, cauliflower, carrots and onion; saute until onion is golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Add 4 cups broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until vegetables are tender, adding more broth if soup is too thick, about 30 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat broiler. Transfer soup to large broiler-proof bowl or individual broiler-proof soup bowls. Arrange bread slices atop soup. Place cheese over bread, covering completely.
Broil 6 inches from heat source until cheese melts and is golden, watching closely to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
