Add in the chopped cauliflower, vegetable stock, and thyme, and stir to combine.  Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Â
-
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue simmering for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Â Remove the thyme sprigs.
-
Using either an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.
-
Stir in the milk and Parmesan, and season the soup to taste with salt and black pepper.

Serve immediately, topped with your desired garnishes if desired.
