Creamy Cauliflower and Broccoli Soup

1/4 cups butter
1 head of cauliflower washed and cut into 2" chunks
1 large onion sliced
4 cloves of garlic chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 head of broccoli washed and chopped
salt and pepper to taste

In a stock pot melt the butter over medium-high heat.  Add the cauliflower, onion, clove, and a few shakes of salt and pepper.  Saute 5 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup water, cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender; about 5-10 minutes.

Transfer the cauliflower mix to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.  Return to the stock pot and add the chicken stock.  If you want a thinner soup, add more chicken stock or milk until you get the consistency you would like.  (1 extra cup of liquid is the max I would add).

Bring the soup to a simmer and then add the broccoli.  Simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 5-10 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
