Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a large resealable bag, combine the cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes and olive oil. Shake to coat. Spread on a nonstick baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Bake for 15 minutes and remove the broccoli. Cook another 10 minutes and remove the cauliflower. Bake another 10 minutes and remove the potatoes. All vegetables should be fork tender before removing. Remove to plate.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the garlic, cook an additional 1 minute. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth and half and half, alternating between the two. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Add the cheddar 1/2 cup at a time, beating each time.
Roughly chop the broccoli and cauliflower. Add the cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes and cumin to the broth. Stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
