Cheesy cauliflower soup with carrot and celery root is a creamy soup you can make in about 30 minutes. Cauliflower florets, grated carrot, and chopped celery root simmer in vegetable bouillon broth until tender. A thick white sauce is made separately with butter, flour, and milk, then grated cheddar is melted into it.

The cheese sauce is stirred into the vegetables at the end. This recipe serves eight and makes a satisfying soup any time of year.

Ingredients

Sweet or hot paprika, or other seasonings

    1 cup = 250 ml (metric cup)

    Instructions

    Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

    1. Break the cauliflower into small florets, grate the carrot, and finely chop the celery root. Place the vegetables in a pot and add broth or water with bouillon. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
    2. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour in the milk, bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
    3. Reduce the heat and stir in the grated cheese. Remove from the heat and stir the cheese sauce into the cauliflower mixture. Adjust the seasoning as needed and serve.

    Tip: Reheat leftover soup slowly over low heat without letting it boil. Boiling can cause the cheese to separate and the soup to become oily.
