Over medium to high heat, add the vegetable stock, thyme and matcha powder to a large pot and bring to a boil.
Add the cauliflower broken into florets and cook until cauliflower is tender.(Mine took about 10 minutes.)
In the meantime, in a small sauce pan, add the olive oil and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
When the cauliflower is almost tender, add the garlic and salt and pepper, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
Turn off the flame and with an emersion blender, blend the soup until smooth.
Serve immediately.
