Cauliflower And Smoked Gouda Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Cauliflower

   Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Cream

   Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the smoked Gouda cheese and heavy cream until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
