Drain and rinse the canned cannellini beans.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the chopped cauliflower. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the drained cannellini beans and cooked cauliflower to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth, and add onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook on medium heat while stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash with a fork or potato masher.
Add the butter and mix until melted and well incorporated.
Stir in the chopped parsley and, if desired, grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
