Method
- Add the butter to large, deep heavy bottomed pot over low heat and let melt. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add the cauliflower, salt, mustard powder, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth to the pot and increase heat to medium.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternately, carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender and blend. Add the cream and cheddar to the soup and stir well to combine.
- When the cheese has fully melted, add the broccoli to the soup and cook for 5-10 minutes or until broccoli is as soft as you'd like, stirring occasionally. Serve with additional grated cheddar and crumbled bacon, if desired.
