Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth with the chopped cauliflower.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
- Return the pot to low heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, allowing it to melt fully before adding more.
- Stir in the heavy cream gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot with crusty bread.
Notes
If using pre-shredded cheese, allow more time for it to melt smoothly. Adding cheese off the heat helps prevent graininess.
