Method

Step 1 

Separate the cauliflower florets and also trim the stalk and chop it up. 

Step 2 

Heat the oil and butter in a heavy bottom saucepan and then sautee the onions, garlic and chilli till they turn translucent.

Step 3 

Turn up the heat and add in the cauliflower. Char the cauliflower a bit and get it slightly brown.

Be careful as it should not burn.

Step 4 

 Add in thyme, oregano, pepper and salt.

Once the bottom of the pan starts to turn brown deglaze with the water.

Note:Enough water to cover the cauliflower in the pan 

Step 5 

Bring up to a simmer and cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes on a low heat till the cauliflower becomes nice and tender. Run your knife through a piece and it should cut through.

Step 6 

Remove the chilli from the mixture.

Use a blender or mixer and blitz the soup into a creamy consistency. Add the cheese and cream and add more water if needed and blitz again. (Based on the consistency you want)

Straining the mixture is optional but if one wants a smooth consistency then do strain it.

Step 7

Bring it back on the stove on a low heat  and cook it for few minutes and and check for seasoning as well.

Serve it with some fresh pepper.
