Keto Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Cook the Cauliflower:
   • Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. Blend the Soup:
   • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and blend in batches, then return it to the pot.
4. Add Cream and Cheese:
   • Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on low heat until heated through.
   • Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
5. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with additional cheddar cheese and chopped green onions or parsley if desired.

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider adding cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms.
• You can adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less broth, depending on your preference.

Enjoy your creamy and cheesy keto cauliflower soup!
