Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, roughly chopped
  • 2 whole shallots, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 c chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 c white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 T fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 T coarse salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a cookie sheet, drizzle the cauliflower, shallots and garlic with the olive oil and season with coarse salt. Roast for about 40 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Carefully place the vegetables in a food processor or blender and roughly puree, or use an immersion blender after simmering. Texture is good, large chunks are not so good. Place the vegetables in a pot along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about ten minutes. Add the cheese, thyme and a good dose of black pepper. Season to taste with salt. Serve with warm, crusty bread and enjoy!
