Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook the Cauliflower:

Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Blend the Soup:
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
Add Cream and Cheese:
Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a blender).
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
Season:
Add the dried thyme, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
Add Greens (Optional):
If using spinach or kale, stir it into the soup and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Adjust seasoning to your taste, and add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness if desired.
