Broccoli Cheddar (cauliflower) Soup

Its still soup season, and today is Broccoli Cheddar Soup 🧀
Except I love the texture and flavor that cauliflower brings to the party in soups and purees.
Don’t forget to utilize the stems, they’re packed with flavor and therefore, nothing goes to waste.
I used a potato to thicken the soup rather than a classic roux, it also helped keep things a little lighter.
Ingredients:
* 1 medium-sized head of broccoli, chopped into florets (stem peeled and sliced)
* 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 3 carrots, sliced
* 8 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 shallot, sliced
* 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and sliced
* 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
* 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
* 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 1 bunch thyme

Mükemmel 👌🏻👌🏻😋
