Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams, chopped
• Cheddar cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Heavy cream - 120 ml
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the chopped cauliflower and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
