Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk (or use part half and half for a creamier soup)
- 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- 2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
*the cheese is a personal preference–I really like the mexican blend from Costco–not as flavorful but I always have it on hand and it melts beautifully
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot. Add garlic and onion and sauté until onions are tender. Add flour and stir until mixture clumps up.
- Gradually whisk in milk. Add broth, salt, and cauliflower. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
- Use a hand held immersion blender or you can transfer soup to a blender and pulse until smooth. If you use the blender then return soup to pot. Add cheeses and stir until melted and combined with soup. Serve with extra cheese if desired. My boys like crumbled bacon on top.
