Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Immersion Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large head cauliflower cut into florets
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup smoked gouda or more cheddar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For garnish: chives and bacon

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the cauliflower, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth to the pot and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until very smooth. (You can also puree in batches using a blender.)
  • Return the pot to medium-low heat and add the cream cheese and shredded cheeses. Cook until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
