Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced.
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon truffle oil (optional)
• Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

3. Stir in vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Add roasted cauliflower and simmer for 5 minutes more, or until heated through.

5. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot.

6. Stir in heavy cream and truffle oil (if using). Heat through but do not boil.

7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, roast the cauliflower with a few cloves of garlic and a sprig of fresh thyme.
• If you don't have truffle oil, you can substitute with a few drops of truffle essence.
• This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
• Feel free to add other toppings, such as crumbled bacon, croutons, or a drizzle of pesto.
