Ingredients
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Salt and pepper
11/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dry white wine
11/2 cups chicken broth plus additional to thin the soup if desired
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
11/2 cups chopped cauliflower

1/4 pound extra-sharp Vermont cheddar cheese, grated coarse (1 1/4 cups)
Dash of Tabasco, or to taste

Directions
In a saucepan cook the onion, the carrot, the celery,
the caraway seeds, and salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderately low
heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, stir in the flour, and cook the
mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in the wine, 11/2 cups of broth, the
