Roasted Cauliflour & Aged Cheddar Soup

This soup has become one of my favorites this season. It's light, savory & delicious. I've made it 3 times in the last month!  I found this recipe on Closet Cooking, where I seem to be finding all my recipes as of late. Kevin posts so many delicious looking recipes, that there's not enough hours or meals in my week, to try all the ones I'd like to. You'll love this soup, friends. It's oober easy , made with very few ingredients, but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen! Also, it goes perfect with this beer bread. Enjoy!
