ADAM'S FAVORITE CREAMY-CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Adam's Favorite Creamy-Cheesy Cauliflower Soup image

I use a large head of cauliflower because Adam thinks that this is the main course as well as appetizer and bed time snack. Normal people would only use about 3 cups of flowerettes (1/2 large head), if you cut back the cauliflower you may want to adjust the stock slightly. Serve this with warm buns.

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs cauliflower, flowerettes
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups light cream
2 cups cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated

Steps:

  • Break the cauliflower down into small flowerettes, chop some of the stems up into bite size pieces.
  • Set the stock on the stove to boil.
  • Add the chopped onions to the broth and season with salt and pepper. Let this boil until the onions are transparent.
  • Add the cauliflower flowerettes and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover the pot and keep at a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, make a roux of the flour and butter over medium-low heat. Cook this while whisking until the flour slightly changes color (whisk constantly so it doesn't burn, and make sure it doesn't burn).
  • Add the cream slowly, whisking in between each addition so that the lumps come out and the roux stays smooth. This mixture should always come back to a boil once the milk has been stirred in well, if it doesn't, turn the heat up!
  • When all the cream has been added and the roux is thick and smooth (about the consistency of thick pudding) add it to the soup.
  • Stir the soup well to incorporate the cream, and keep stirring until it comes up to a boil.
  • Add the cheese, turn the heat down to low, cover and bring to a slow boil. Stir frequently so it doesn't burn on the bottom.

Tips:

  • Select the right cauliflower: Choose a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Roast the cauliflower before blending: Roasting the cauliflower before blending gives it a slightly caramelized flavor and helps to bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help to create a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can also use a food processor, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
  • Add liquid gradually: When adding the broth or milk to the soup, do so gradually, and blend until the soup reaches the desired consistency. This will help to prevent the soup from becoming too thin or too thick.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is blended, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Creamy cheesy cauliflower soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables into your diet. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
