Time 1h

Yield 4 - 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small head garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 head cauliflower
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush the head of garlic with about 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil, wrap it in foil and bake it until it is tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the head of cauliflower of leaves and heavy stems and separate into florets. Rinse the florets.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the cauliflower and cook until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add the onion and saute until it is soft but not brown.
  • When the garlic is tender, slice off the top of the head with a sharp knife and squeeze out the soft garlic pulp inside. Add the garlic and the cauliflower to the saucepan. Stir in1/2 cup of the milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir in the remaining milk and cream. Bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the soup in warm bowls with a sprinkling of chives and a little of the remaining olive oil drizzled on top
