Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Vegetables
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add cauliflower florets and stir well.
Step 2: Add Flour
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. This helps make the soup thick and creamy later.
Step 3: Pour in Broth
- Slowly add chicken broth while stirring. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 4: Blend the Soup
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. You can also blend in batches using a regular blender.
Step 5: Add Milk and Cheese
- Pour in milk and stir well. Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Step 6: Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with parsley and a little extra cheese on top. Serve hot with bread or crackers.
Notes
- Use fresh cauliflower for the best taste and texture.
- Add a bit of cream for extra richness.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables — they should stay tender.
- Top with croutons or crispy bacon for more flavor.
