Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped cauliflower and sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing the florets to soften slightly.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. For a creamier soup, blend longer or transfer to a blender in batches.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color.
