Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a non-dairy alternative.
Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or croutons on top for added flavor and texture.
