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.

Categories     Cauliflower

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.

This soup is amazing! It's so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love that it's a healthy alternative to traditional cream soups. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The soup was bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and cheesy, and the cauliflower adds a nice touch of sweetness. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and onion to taste.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. It's also really easy to make and it's delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but this soup was surprisingly good. The cheese and spices really balance out the flavor of the cauliflower. Would definitely make it again.

This recipe was a total flop. The cauliflower never softened, and the soup was bland and watery.

I tried this recipe last night, it was delicious! The cauliflower was perfectly cooked and the soup had a creamy, cheesy flavor. I added a bit of extra garlic and paprika to taste, and it turned out great.
