Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets (about 5-6 cups)
- 1 medium carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 /4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 /4 cup chopped onion
- 2-1/2 /2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth (I like to use Better than Buillon Base)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 /4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 /8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups 2% milk (or whole milk)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 /2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the cauliflower florets, carrot, celery, onion, and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat; Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender (do not drain). The liquid will barely cover the veggies.
- In another large saucepan, melt the butter for the roux. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Whisk the milk in slowly. Bring to a boil over medium heat; Cook and stir the mixture for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Stir in the cheese until melted. Add hot pepper sauce if desired. Stir into the cauliflower mixture until combined.
- Puree about 2 1/2 cups of the soup in a regular blender or immersion blender and pour back into the soup. This makes the soup extra creamy. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- If using vegetable bouillon only use 1 teaspoon.
- The soup stores well and should be reheated over medium-low heat.
