Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons salted butter
-
1 large onion, diced
-
2 stalks celery, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-
8 cups chicken broth
-
1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
-
2 cups 2% milk
-
½ cup half-and-half
-
¼ cup sour cream
-
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and parsley, then pour in chicken broth. Add cauliflower and thyme; bring to a boil.
-
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until cauliflower and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the stove and let cool for 15 minutes.
-
Process 2 cups soup at a time in a food processor until smooth; return to the pot. Add milk, half-and-half, and cream; whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add Cheddar cheese and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and soup is hot, about 5 minutes longer.

You can use 1 teaspoon dried thyme in place of 1 tablespoon fresh.
