Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 medium Celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the cauliflower into small florets, dicing the carrot, celery, and onion, and mincing the garlic.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, combine the cauliflower florets, carrot, celery, onion, minced garlic, and chicken or vegetable broth.

Step 3

Add salt, black pepper, and ground mustard (if using) to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender enough to blend.

Step 5

Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend, then return to the slow cooker.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 7

Gradually whisk the milk into the roux, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir the milk mixture into the soup in the slow cooker until fully combined.

Step 9

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the slow cooker. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 11

Ladle the cheesy cauliflower soup into bowls and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped fresh parsley.
