In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and stir for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a blender.
Stir in the cooked crab meat and cubed brie cheese. Allow the cheese to melt completely while stirring gently.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through without boiling.
Ladle the soup into bowls or cups, garnish with chopped chives, and serve hot.
