Cauliflower and Buttermilk Bleu Cheese Soup

1 head cauliflower
3-4 oz crumbled buttermilk bleu chz (any bleu chz is good)
1 small onion, diced
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
2-3 cups cauliflower water (reserved from cooking the cauliflower)
salt and pepper

Trim, then boil, the cauliflower for about five minutes (or a little less) in salted water. Drain the cauliflower, reserving the water it was boiled in. Separate cauliflower into small florets. Make a roux in a medium sized sauce pot with the 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp flour. Cook the roux for about 20 seconds then add the diced onions. Saute over low heat, so the roux does not turn brown for five or 6 minutes. While constantly wisking, slowly drizzle in 2 cups of the cauliflower water, if you add the liquid too fast, you will get a lumpy soup. Add the two cups of milk and stir. Add half the cauliflower, and blend with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. Add the bleu cheese and stir until it is fully melted. If the soup is too think, add more of the cauliflower stock. Taste and season with salt and pepper as necessary. Finally add the reserved cauliflower and stir. Serve with thyme croutons!
