Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

This is a very quick and easy soup that is also fairly healthy. At least I like to think so since I am eating cauliflower. The pepper jack cheese gives it a very nice kick. But I think several different types of cheeses would work if you wanted to use something else.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken stock
1 head cauliflower
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions:
1. Melt butter in a pot. Slice onions and add to the butter. Cook for a few minutes.
2. Add flour and mix. Cook onions and flour for a couple of minutes.
3. Add salt, milk, and stock. Stir.
4. Cut up cauliflower and add to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until cauliflower is tender. You can also use frozen cauliflower florets.
5. Either using a stick blender or blender blend the mixture until smooth.
6. Return mixture to the pot. Add in dijon mustard and cheeses. Stir until cheese is melted and soup is smooth.

I also added crushed garlic in step #3 since I like garlic so much.
