Ingredients

1 tablespoon salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
1 (16 ounce) package aged Cheddar cheese
5 cups milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and fry until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and cauliflower; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat slightly and boil gently until cauliflower is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, grate Cheddar cheese. Whisk milk and flour together in a bowl.
When cauliflower is tender, slowly add milk-flour mixture, stirring until combined. Simmer until soup has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in grated Cheddar until melted and blended together. Season with salt and pepper.
