Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 6 cups cauliflower florets
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup Buffalo hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
- 6 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
- Possible garnishes: extra cheese, blue cheese, bacon bits, scallions
Instructions
- Set a large 6-quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the oil, chopped onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes. Then stir in the cauliflower and sauté another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Pour the vegetable broth and buffalo sauce into the pot. Cover and simmer the soup for at least 20 minutes, or until the largest cauliflower florets are fork-tender.
- Carefully pour the hot soup into a blender jar. Add the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Place the lid on the blender, and open the vent in the lid. Place a dish towel over the blender so the steam can vent, but you do not get splashed with hot soup through the open vent. Then blend until completely smooth.
- Taste, then season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm sprinkled with extra cheese, scallions (or bacon if you're a meat eater)!
