2 tablespoons Butter	2 cups Cream
1 small Onion (about 2.5 ounces) diced	3 cups Cauliflower - frozen works fine
2 teaspoons Dried Mustard

Instructions for Low Carb Cougar Gold Cheese Soup

Shred Cougar Gold cheese until you have 3 cups worth. (Be warned: stickier and crumblier than cheddar, Cougar Gold can challenge your cheese-shredding skills and use more time than expected.)

Saute diced onion in butter until soft. Stir in dry mustard. Cook for several minutes, stirring continuously. Transfer to soup pot and stir in broth (Imagine's Veggie or No-Chicken broth work well), whisking until smooth. Add cauliflower.

Simmer over moderate heat 30 minutes. Add cream (or half-and-half). Reduce heat to low and stir in Cougar Gold Cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
