[Recipe] Cauliflower soup

[yuuago]

My mom made some awesome cauliflower soup the other day, and I wanted to share it with you all. :D It's super flavourful and delicious.

It's all gone now, and I'm sad, because I wanted more for lunch. Alas. ;)

Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 medium carrot, shredded
1/4 cup chopped celery
2-1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups 2% milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, optional

Details
In a Dutch oven, combine the cauliflower, carrot, celery, water and bouillon.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender (do not drain).

In a large saucepan, melt butter.

Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth.
Gradually add milk.

Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Reduce heat. Stir in the cheese until melted, adding hot pepper sauce if desired.

Stir into the cauliflower mixture.

My mom's modifications
Instead of water, use 3 cups chicken stock.

Use 2 sticks of celery.

We didn't have hot pepepr sauce, so used 3tbs of chili sauce instead.

Also added 1/2 cup shredded carrots.
