Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, or olive oil
  • 1.5 cups sweet onion, diced small
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, remove stems, dice small
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded or grated
  • 2.5 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 24 ounces cauliflower florets, boiled, drained and pureed
  • 2-2.5 cups mild shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • 1 pot to boil cauliflower
  • 1 colander
  • 1 3.5 quart soup pot

Instructions 

  • Boil a pot or water and cook the cauliflower florets until fork tender.
    Drain off the water and add the fork tender cauliflower to a food processor. Buzz until smooth and creamy, no lumps. Set aside.
  • In a 3.5-quart soup pot over medium heat, add the butter, onions, salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are translucent, then add the chopped broccoli and carrots. Saute for a few minutes.
  • Once the broccoli and carrots are soft but not browned, add the bone broth and milk. Stir well. Next, add the cauliflower puree and simmer.
  • Finally, add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup reaches your preferred thickness. If it gets too tight, add some broth to loosen it. Serve hot with bread or crackers.
