1. 1

   Heat the butter in a large saucepan.

2. 2

   Add the carrots, celery, and onion; saute for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. 3

   Add the flour and cook over low heat until the flower is incorporated into the butter, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Stirring constantly, gradually add stock and then the cauliflower.

5. 5

   Bring to a boil and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, or about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir in the grated cheese and cook for about 30 seconds until melted. (Do not bring soup to a boil after cheese is added or the soup will break.) Stir in the half-and-half; warm the soup over low heat.

7. 7

   Season with cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste.

   To serve, ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Sprinkle each portion with the diced cheese and serve immediately.
