Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 8 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Half-and-half
• 1 cup Chopped cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Chopped carrots (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Chopped celery (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Frozen green peas
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly, to make a smooth roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it brown.

Step 3

Gradually add the chicken broth, about one cup at a time, whisking continually to prevent lumps. This will create a smooth, velvety soup base.

Step 4

Stir in the half-and-half and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the chopped cauliflower, carrots, celery, and green peas to the pot.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
