Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 ounces, crumbled Blue cheese
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Chives

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and discard the tough stem.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir to coat with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches to blend, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the milk, crumbled blue cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through (about 5 minutes).

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
