Skinny Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup

I have been trying to follow a meal plan recently for dinners...but I have a horrible time making it before going to the store, or getting the last minute necessities for the current meal. Last night my meal plan said Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Soup...but I hadn't specifically shopped for the soup. Pinterest saved the day, yet again, and I found multiple recipes for Broccoli soup that I felt I could recreate with things I had at home. Keeping in line with my cleaner, healthier eating I parred down the cheeses and creams to make this soup. Most of the creaminess comes from pureed cauliflower.
