Roasted Cauliflower and Aged White Cheddar Soup

It was the first weekend of fall, so what better way to start it off than with some soup and cute decorations?
One day at the bank these farmers came in with a bunch of gourds and pumpkins. Our investor lady bought everything so I got all my fall decorations for free!

I got this recipe from closetcooking.com and boy was it tasty!

• 1 head Cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
• 1 t. dried thyme
• 3 C. Vegetable broth
• 8 oz aged white cheddar, cubed
• 1/2 c. Milk
• 1/2 c. Cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Place cauliflower in a container with 2 T. olive oil and salt and pepper. Place lid on and shake till fully coated. Line a baking sheet with foil and preheat oven to 400. Bake cauliflower till brown, about 20-30 mins. Meanwhile, in a large pot heat 1 T. olive oil with the onion, garlic, and thyme. Add the broth and cauliflower and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for 20 mins. Try to mash the cauliflower to your likeness in the pot. *The original recipe suggested using an electric mixer but I felt that would make a big mess* Mix in the cheese till it melts and add more salt and pepper. Mix in the milk and cream and serve!
