2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Cauliflower: Toss the chopped cauliflower with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).

Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it in batches to a blender.
Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot.
