Heat the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the flour and stir to create a rough paste (this is a basic roux to thicken the broth). Cook for 2 minutes.

Stir in the broth and cream, then whisk for a minute. Add the cauliflower florets, carrots, cayenne pepper, seasoning, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer; cook, covered, for 20 minutes.

Turn off the heat, let the soup cool slightly, then puree a portion of it. You can scoop out 2 cups of vegetables, puree them in a blender or food processor, and return them to the pot. Or you can use an immersion blender. Stir to combine. Note: For a yellow creamy soup, blend only the cauliflower florets, not the carrots.

Add the lemon juice, parsley, and nutmeg. Stir, and season to taste if needed. You might want to add more lemon juice or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a touch of broth. Serve it with crusty bread, additional freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
