Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets

1 bulb of garlic (about 10-12 cloves), unpeeled

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 medium onion, diced

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic and Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the unpeeled garlic bulb in the center of the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and tender, and the garlic becomes soft.

    Sauté the Onions: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

      Blend the Soup: Once the cauliflower and garlic are done roasting, add them to the pot with the onions. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

        Add Cream and Cheese: Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), carefully blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and well combined.

          Flavor It Up: Add dried thyme, lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls, and garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh touch. Enjoy your rich and savory Creamy Roasted Garlic Cheddar Cauliflower Soup!
