4 cups of chicken stock (2 cups for each color cauliflower)

Get 3 pots, each about 3 quarts.

In 2 separate pots, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the cauliflower (one color per pot) and boil for 10 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, while the cauliflower is boiling, make roux-thickened milk for both soups at the same time. In a third pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter, then add 4 tablespoons of flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add 4 cups of milk while on low heat, stirring constantly until thickened in a few minutes.

Purée the cauliflower in the chicken stock using a hand blender. Put on low heat and add half the thickened milk to each pot. Mix well. Then, add the cheese: cheddar for the orange cauliflower and white cheddar for the purple cauliflower. Stir until the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper.

Serve in bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Gently swirl the colors together.

Serves 4.
