Better than Zupas Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Servings 6 servings
I’ve fine tuned the recipe and now declare it is BETTER than Zupas Wisconsin Cauliflower Cheddar Soup!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium size onion coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic chopped
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups whole milk can substitute half and half or other milks - but I prefer whole milk for this recipe
- 1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
- 1 large head of cauliflower chopped into florets
- 1 cup pepperjack cheese
- 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add butter to pot and melt.
- Add chopped onions and garlic into pot and saute for about 5 minutes or until beginning to brown.
- Lower heat and add flour and stir.
- Slowly add water, broth, salt and chopped cauliflower.
- Simmer covered until cauliflower is fork tender, which takes about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add milk.
- Transfer contents into a blender in comfortable batches and blend until creamy smooth. I also add my pepper jack cheese into the blender, so the pepper flakes in the cheese are also blended up.
- Pour soup back in pot and add mustard, sharp cheddar cheese and pepper. Stir together until cheese is melted and soup is smooth.
- Serve immediately, or warm when ready to eat.
- Top with some garnish, cheese, or just gobble it up silky smooth. Oh, so very good!
