Ingredients

  • 2 T butter or oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups chopped cauliflower about 1 head
  • 5 c vegetable broth or chicken
  • 1 red pepper cut into ¼ inch cubes
  • 1 cup carrot shreds half a 10 ounce bag, chopped into shorter pieces
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 cups grated fontina cheese or other good melting cheese
  • salt to taste my broth was unsalted, so I added quite a bit

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender. Stir in mustard, cayenne and cumin.
  2. Add flour and stir until completely combined. Add broth slowly, a half cup to a cup at a time, whisking to keep flour lumps from forming.
  3. When flour is incorporated bring back to a boil, add cauliflower and stir until slightly thickened and cauliflower is tender. Using a standard or immersion blender, puree some of the cauliflower until it is a consistency you like (I puree half to 2/3).
  4. Add carrots and red pepper and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in half and half, then add cheese in handfuls, stirring to melt. Taste and adjust salt.
  6. Serve warm.
