Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 2 pounds) Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the cauliflower florets and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
6. Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
7. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
8. Return the pot to low heat and stir, ensuring the cream is fully incorporated.
9. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese on top of each serving. The warmth of the soup will melt the cheese.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
