Recipe Tips
- Feel free to use your preferred type of stock or broth. I like to use chicken stock as it matches the flavors of the cauliflower better.
- You can make this soup chunky by simply reducing the amount you blend the soup. I recommend blending it slightly as it helps thicken the liquid.
- Fresh or frozen cauliflower will work fine in this recipe. I made use of frozen as fresh was not available at our local supermarket.
- After you add the cheese, you will need to continually stir the soup so that the soup doesn't burn on the bottom of the pot.
- If you like your soup extra thick, then reduce the amount of cream by half. You can always add more if it is too thick.
- Heavy cream is also known as thickened cream in Australia or whipping cream in the UK.
