Wisconsin Cauliflower Cheese Soup

We had this soup last night. It was so good! Although it does not taste exactly like the Zupas one...it's pretty dang close=) 

Wisconsin Cauliflower Cheese Soup (copy cat of Zupas) 


3 tbsp butter or margarine

1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
1 1/2 C. chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
1 head (about 2 1/2 pounds) cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup pepper jack cheese



In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and salt.  Slowly whisk in the milk, chicken broth, and water.  Add the cauliflower and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 10-15 minutes. In small batches, blend the soup in a blender until smooth.  (Make sure to remember to remove the center part of the lid to stop the blender from exploding.)  Return soup to the saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot.  Remove from heat and add mustard and 1 1/2 cups cheese.  Stir until until melted and smooth. Garnish soup with remaining cheese.
