For the soup:

1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large potato, peeled and finely chopped
6 cups cauliflower, trimmed into small florets
7 cups chicken stock
1 cup grated, Dubliner® Cheese

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place a saucepan over a medium heat and add the two tablespoons of Kerrygold butter.

4. Cover and stir occasionally until the onion is tender about five minutes.
5. Remove the lid and stir in the cauliflower and stock, simmer over a medium-high heat until the potato and cauliflower are very tender, about 20 minutes.
