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.

Ingredients

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.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this soup was surprisingly good. It's creamy and flavorful, and the roasted cauliflower adds a nice touch.

This soup is easy to make and perfect for a weeknight meal. I love that I can use frozen cauliflower, so it's always on hand.

I've never been a fan of cauliflower soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the addition of cheese and bacon takes it to the next level.

I was skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower. But I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and I couldn't taste the cauliflower at all.
