650gcauliflower florets, (a medium to large size cauliflower)
600mlvegetable stock, I use Massel stock cubes for this recipe dissolved in hot water, see note 1
100mlcream
30gParmesan cheese, grated
Good quality cheddar cheese for sprinkling on top
seasoning to taste
Instructions
Place the peeled garlic in the Thermomix bowl and chop for 3 sec/speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the butter, and saute for 3 mins/100℃/speed 1 with the measuring cup off.
Add the cauliflower florets and chop for 2 sec/speed 5.
Add the vegetable stock and cook for 15 mins/100℃/speed 1. See note.
Check that the cauliflower is cooked through. Add the Parmesan and cream and blend for 1 min/speed 8, slowly increasing the speed. If it's too thick, add a little more hot water until you reach the desired consistency.
Check the seasoning, then serve topped with some good quality cheddar cheese.
Notes
If using stock cubes or the Thermomix Vegetable Stock Concentrate, dissolve in boiling water first. If using cold stock from a carton such as Campbells, increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
Storage: Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge and consume it within three days. This soup is not suitable for freezing as it contains cream, which will separate.
