1 1/2 cups water
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
2.5 lbs cauliflower
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup pepper jack cheese

Melt butter and chopped onion together in a large sauce pan and sauté for approximately 10 minutes over medium heat until onion gets golden in color.
Add flour and stir to make a roux. Heat while stirring for a couple of minutes.
Slowly add half and half along with the milk. Gradually add and stir the entire time. Following the milk, gradually add water and chicken broth and stir constantly.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until cauliflower is tender. This will take approximately 15 minutes.
