First, you'll want to cut up the carrot, onion and cauliflower (if using a head of cauliflower). Set these items aside or store them in a container if you are planning to make this soup later.
In a dutch oven over medium heat, add in the butter & onion. Cook together until the butter is melted and the onion is tender. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Next, add in the carrot, garlic cloves, cauliflower, seasonings (salt, pepper, thyme & oregano) and stir together with the onion for 1 - 2 minutes.
Now add in the chicken broth (or water if that's what you're using). Turn up the heat to med-high, cover and bring it to a boil and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Stir periodically to make sure all the veggies are all cooked evenly.
After 15 minutes, turn the heat down to med-low. Then use an emulsion blender or carefully ladle the liquid and veggies into a Vitamix to blend it all together until smooth.
NOTE: Remove the pot from the heat if you removed the soup to blend in a Vitamix or blender. That way it can cool and not splatter on you once you return it to the pot.
Return it to the pot once blended.
Finally, stir in the cream cheese and creamer until it's fully melted into the soup. Allow it to cook over low-medium heat for 10 minutes and then the soup is ready! Sprinkle on some toppings of your choice and ENJOY!
