Ingredients

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 head cauliflower (about 1 lb.), cored and cut into 1-1/2-inch florets

2 Tbs. unsalted butter

1 medium yellow onion, small diced

1 medium clove garlic, minced

2 Tbs. all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. packed, freshly grated nutmeg

1/8 tsp. cayenne

2 cups lower-salt chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

3 sprigs fresh thyme

4 cups grated sharp or extra-sharp white Cheddar (about 14 oz.)

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the cauliflower until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Trim the stems from 18 of the cauliflower pieces and cut the crowns into mini florets about 1/2 inch wide; set aside. Reserve the trimmed stems with the remaining larger pieces.

Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 10 to 12 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook until the aroma subsides, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the flour, nutmeg, and cayenne and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the broth, cream, and 2 cups water. Add the thyme and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese until melted and simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavors.

Remove and discard the thyme stems and stir in the larger cauliflower pieces and reserved stems. Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender. Return the soup to the pot, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the mini cauliflower florets and reheat gently before serving.
