Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 5 garlic cloves chopped
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon mustard dry
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cup cauliflower florets
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 carrots diced
- 5 cups broccoli chopped into smaller pieces (from a 12 oz. bag)
- 2 cups oat milk
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Heat butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the onion and sauté it for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic, paprika, mustard, and salt and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the cauliflower and vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
- While the soup is simmering, dice the carrots and chop the broccoli; set aside.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the cauliflower into a smooth consistency, or carefully transfer it to a blender and blend on low until smooth, then transfer it back into the pot.
- Whisk the milk and yogurt together in a bowl, then pour it into the pot with the soup, along with the carrots and broccoli and stir to combine. Boil the soup, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Last, add in the cheese and whisk until the cheese is melted. Divide into bowls, top with black pepper and salt to taste and enjoy!
