A smooth and comforting soup with strong cheddar cheese, roasted garlic flavor, and a hint of sweetness from cauliflower – ideal for a warm and comforting meal.
List of components:
1 cauliflower, cut into small pieces
1 garlic bulb, cooked in the oven
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cups of vegetable broth
1 cup of milk or cream (for a creamier soup)
2 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
Fresh parsley or chives can be used for decoration, if desired.
Directions:
Cook the garlic until it turns brown.
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before using it.
Cut the upper part of the garlic bulb to see the cloves. Put a little olive oil on it and cover it with foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the garlic is tender and browned. Allow it to cool down, then press the garlic cloves to remove their skins. Put aside.
Cook the onion in a pan with a little oil.
Warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a big pot on medium heat.
Put the chopped onion in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and see-through.
Prepare the cauliflower for cooking.
Put the cut cauliflower in the pot and mix it well. Cook for 5 minutes until it becomes a bit softer.
Include broth and let it simmer.
Add the vegetable broth and heat the mixture until it starts to simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is soft.
Mix the soup.
When the cauliflower is soft, take the pot off the stove. Use a hand blender to mix the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Another option is to put the soup in the blender in small amounts and blend until it is smooth.
Include roasted garlic and cream.
Add the cooked garlic cloves to the soup and mix them well. Add the milk or cream and heat the soup gently for 5 more minutes.
Add cheese and mix.
Slowly sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese into the soup while stirring continuously until it melts and the soup becomes smooth and creamy. Try the food and add salt and pepper to your liking.
Wait on tables.
Put the soup in bowls and add fresh parsley or chives on top, if you like. Enjoy with fresh bread or crackers for added coziness!
