Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional garnishes: fresh chives, additional cheddar cheese, or croutons

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Cook Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.

      Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Ensure to let the steam escape to avoid burning yourself.

        Add Creaminess: Once the soup is blended to your desired consistency, return it to low heat. Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and blend into the soup.

          Season: Add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives, more cheddar cheese, or croutons if desired. Enjoy your delicious and healthy garlic cheddar cauliflower soup!
