  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked bacon bits (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  3. Add Garlic and Cauliflower: Stir in garlic and cauliflower; sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Pour in Broth: Add vegetable broth to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender to blend until smooth.
  6. Add Cream and Cheese: Return blended soup to low heat; stir in cream or coconut milk along with cheese until melted (about 5 minutes).
  7. Serve hot topped with bacon bits and green onions.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added crunch, consider topping your soup with crispy bacon bits or smoked paprika for depth. For a lighter option, substitute cream with coconut milk without losing richness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days; reheat gently on the stove.
