1. Sauté Onions
Start by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
2. Add Cauliflower and Broth
Add the riced or shredded cauliflower along with the chicken broth to the saucepan. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
3. Add Cream Cheese and Mash
After the cauliflower has softened, add the cream cheese to the saucepan. Use a masher to break down the cauliflower and incorporate the cream cheese until it's well blended.
4. Blend and Add Heavy Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and use an immersion blender (or a regular blender if you prefer) to purée the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Season and Serve
Season the soup with pink salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese on top. Serve immediately.
Before adding it to the soup, roast the cauliflower florets with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes to caramelize the edges and deepen the flavor profile of your soup.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until velvety smooth and for an even finer texture, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Add cheddar cheese in small batches, stirring constantly, and ensure the soup is not boiling to prevent the cheese from separating and becoming grainy.
Start your soup base with a mirepoix (a mix of diced onion, carrot, and celery) sautéed in butter until soft and slightly caramelized to create a flavorful foundation for your soup.
Use the freshest cauliflower and opt for a high-quality, aged cheddar cheese as these two primary ingredients significantly impact the taste of your soup.
