For an even smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup before adding the cheese. Be careful when blending hot liquids. For a richer flavor, try using a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyere cheese. Add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, aromatic depth. Garnish with crispy bacon bits or croutons for added texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMelt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
02
StepPour in the chicken broth and add the cauliflower florets. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, approximately 20-30 minutes.
03
StepWhile the cauliflower simmers, grate the aged Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and all-purpose flour until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
04
StepOnce the cauliflower is tender, gradually add the milk-flour mixture to the pot, stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
05
StepRemove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese until it is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
