1/3 head cauliflower
1/2 carrot
1 1/4 lbs broccoli
3 cups chicken broth
6 ounces yellow sweet onions
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (preferably chipotle)
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 1/2 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3 1/2 ounces gruyere
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

1
Put the carrot (peeled but not chopped) and the cauliflower (also one big hunk) into a large pot with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring the broth to a boil then reduce to a low boil. Add the broccoli and steam until the broccoli is al dente.
2
Drain the broth into a liquid measuring cup. Add more chicken broth to increase the total volume to 3 cups. Remove the cauliflower and carrot (which should be well softened) and puree. Set aside.
3
Add butter to a skillet, and saute diced onion, pepper flakes and garlic over medium low until softened and slightly carmelized. Add cream. Cook over medium for four minutes.
4
Remove from heat. Stir in the reserved chicken broth. Return to heat over medium and bring to slow boil. Boil 1 minute then remove from heat. Stir in the vegetable puree. Slowly add the shredded cheese in small amounts, stirring to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
