Cauliflower / Smoked Gouda Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Saute the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

2. 2

   Add Cauliflower and Seasoning

   Add the chopped cauliflower, salt, black pepper, and thyme to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Cream

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

6. 6

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional smoked Gouda if desired.
