Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup

My friend shared this with me so I thought I would extend the favor. I always get this soup when I go to Zupas and I love that I can now make it at home. I am surprised how easy it is.

2 tbsp. butter
1 med. onion
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 can chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
1 head cauliflower (Cut off stems and slice into 1 inch pieces)
1 tsp Dijon (or spicy brown)
2 cups cheddar cheese (may also substitute with Velveeta)
1 cup pepperjack cheese

Melt butter in stock pot, saute onions til med brown. Stir in flour and salt and cook for 2 min. (Warning do not walk away or stop stirring. Flour will scorch easily) Slowly add milk,broth and water. Add your cauliflower and bring to a boil. Reduce your heat and simmer for ten min or until cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat and puree in blender. Do not fill it to the top as heat expands and you turn your blender on, the soup will go everywhere. Once completely blended put back into pot and add your mustard and cheese.
