Marsha's Cauliflower Cheese Soup

I've recently decided to attempt at eating healthy. Since then I have new found respect for people who do this all the time. I've only been at it for a little over three days and everything seems to be a power struggle. Suddenly those buns at the bakery mock my very existence while the pastries call out to me. My hearing has become more acute and I can glean an ice cream trucks sweet siren song from six blocks away.
Of course I might be overreacting.
As if to compound my suffering we spent a fabulous day at the Granville Island Public Market. Food beyond belief! What a treasure. I could go on and on about it and our glorious time there today but this post is about Cauliflower Soup.
I don't know if Cauliflower soup fits into my eating healthy routine but after resisting all kinds of temptation today I thought I earned it. Let me tell you this cauliflower soup is beyond amazing. I was visiting a friend in January and she made this soup for supper. Besides tasting wonderful I also enjoyed the best company while I ate it. Her little girl made me giggle all night as I devoured bowl after bowl. I call it Marsha's Cauliflower Cheese Soup* or if you want your kids to eat it Call it Marsha's C.C. Soup. Which is what I do. If they ask what C.C. stands for make something silly up such as Marsha's Crazy Cat Soup or Marsha's Capital Captains Soup. That's usually my fail safe when I don't want them to know that I'm feeding them something potentially disgusting (liver*) or healthy (cauliflower).
Without further ado:

Marsha's C.C. Soup

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

1 small sweet onion chopped
900ml container of chicken or vegetable broth

1 head of roughly chopped cauliflower

salt and pepper to taste

2 1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup flour

2 cups + shredded cheese to taste

Directions:
Melt butter in pot. Add onions and sauté until tender. Stir in broth and cauliflower. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce head. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.
In a separate bowl mix milk and flour until smooth. Add mixture to pot and stir occasionally on medium heat until it boils and thickens.
Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted adding more cheese to taste.
If you so choose blend until smooth or serve immediately with love.

Accept all gracious compliments as your guests (or kids) wolf down soup. 

Enjoy!
