Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (leaves only)
- 5 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock (homemade or low sodium)
- 1 cup 10% cream or carnation 2% evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 cups of extra old white cheddar cheese

Directions
1
In large pot over medium heat, sauté onion, celery and carrot in olive oil until onion is translucent.2
Add cauliflower and thyme to pot and pour in the stock.3
Cover and bring to boil.4
Reduce heat to medium and cook until cauliflower is tender.5
Remove pot from heat.6
Working in batches, puree the mixture in a food processor or blender and return to the pot (I prefer it slightly chunky).7
Reduce heat to low and whisk in the cream, dry mustard, Dijon and cheddar.8
Heat thoroughly but do not let the soup boil.9
If you find the soup a bit thick at this point, add a little stock or water.10
Add salt (if necessary) and pepper.11
Serve.12
A pleasant variation: Substitute 1 cup of thinly sliced leeks for the onion and 1 1/2 cups of crumbled Stilton for the cheddar; add 3 tablespoons of Tawny port and garnish with freshly chopped chives.

I love this soup! It's so simple to make, and well balanced in flavour. I think it is a sophisticated dish even without the stilton or port! Bravo!

This is not any ordinary cauliflower cheese soup. This soup is thick, creamy, and full of flavor! The extra old cheddar and the Dijon really make a great combination, but are not overpowering. I made it just as written and wouldn't change a thing. You can bet that I'll make this again. Thanx for sharing the recipe.

This is a creamy, silky, yummy soup! It's perfect for those of us on a low-carb diet. I used vegetable stock and real full fat cream. Left out the carrot and used two huge onions! I pureed the soup right in the pot with an immersion blender (known in our house as The Stick). Pay close attention to Step #8, do not let the soup boil, it can burn on the bottom of your pot. This reheats beautifully in the microwave. I can't wait to try a version with chopped leeks and maybe a little smoked mozzarella.

I just ran across this recipe in my favorites file, and I can't believe I haven't rated it yet. To date, this has been one of my most frequently served Zaar soups. This is a wonderful soup, and it lends itself well to variations depending on the cheese you may have on hand. It is also a natural for crock pot cooking, so that's another big plus! Thanks for the recipe, Highland Lass. It has become a family favorite.
