I love cauliflower and use it a lot because I like big broccoli in every bite but you can use less. I also used some stems to take advantage of the entire head and not waste anything, but you can only use the florets if you prefer. Even people who “don’t like broccoli” should love broccoli when bathed in a creamy, cheesy broth.
