Steps

1. Rinse and scrub the clams thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or grit.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Chop the cauliflower into small florets and add it to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
