Begin by bringing the broth to a boil in a pot. Season with salt according to your preference. Introduce the cauliflower and scallions into the boiling broth, then allow it to return to a gentle rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and let it cook for approximately 30 minutes until the cauliflower reaches a tender consistency. Incorporate the poached garlic purée into the mixture, stirring well, and continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes. Season with pepper, taste, and make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, garnished with freshly grated cheese, drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil, and any additional desired toppings.
