Cheddar Cauliflower & Roasted Garlic Soup 🥦🧄🧀✨

A creamy, comforting soup made with roasted garlic, tender cauliflower, and sharp cheddar cheese. Perfect for cozy nights or a hearty starter.

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
