Cauliflower & Gouda Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Add Cauliflower and Broth

   Add the cauliflower florets, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

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

4. 4

   Add Cheese and Cream

   Stir in the shredded Gouda cheese and heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is warmed through. Adjust seasoning if needed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh chives. Serve hot.
