Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets (about 5-6 cups)
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 48 oz chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 oz American cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a dutch oven, or soup pot, add butter with onion, carrots, and celery.
  • Sauté till the vegetables soften and onions are translucent.
  • Add the flour and stir to evenly coat the vegetables.
  • Place the cauliflower into the pot. Follow with the broth and the milk.
  • Simmer until the cauliflower is soft. The next step is to blend the soup. I typically like a few chunks in the soup. I will set some soup to the side if using a stand blender, or I will not blend it all if using an immersion blender.
  • Blend soup with an immersion blender or in a stand blender. You do not need to blend the soup, but it will result in a much thinner consistency.
  • Add the cheese to the soup and stir to melt.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
