01
Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, and cook them gently until they soften, about 3 minutes. Next, add the potatoes and parsley, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the cauliflower and thyme, and bring everything to a boil.

Step 2
Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender—this should take around 45 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and let it sit for about 15 minutes to cool down a bit.

Step 3
Carefully blend about 2 cups of the soup at a time until smooth, then pour it back into the pot. Stir in the milk, half-and-half, and cream, mixing everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4
Finally, add the shredded Cheddar cheese and cook the soup on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese melts and the soup is warmed through—about 5 more minutes. Enjoy!
