Notes

  • Fresh cauliflower is best. However, you can substitute with frozen (just add to the pot in the frozen state with the stock).
  • Use freshly shredded white cheddar and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the cauliflower longer until you achieve the desired texture.
  • Use a hand mixer or stand mixer as an alternative to blending with an immersion blender (texture may not be as smooth using either alternative).
  • Add roasted garlic and/or a pinch of nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.
  • Taste for salt.
