Ingredients:
2 Tbs. olive oil 1 yellow onion, diced 1 head cauliflower, about 2 1/2 lb., cut into florets 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 cups heavy cream 2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste Freshly ground pepper, to taste 8 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded Toasted crusty bread for serving
Directions:
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, cream, the 2 tsp. salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to a fine puree, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted and well combined with the soup. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
Serve with toasted bread. Serves 6 to 8. |
