• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 cup shredded Vermont white Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring cauliflower and chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover the saucepan and increase heat to medium-high. Allow cauliflower to simmer until soft and the cooking liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove cauliflower from the heat, and add the butter, Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mash with a potato masher until the cheeses have melted and the cauliflower is smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
