Method

Preheat the grill to high. Pat the cauliflower dry with kitchen paper and put on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season, toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer. Grill for 10-15 mins, turning halfway, until golden brown and lightly charred at the edges. Transfer to a plate.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 6-8 mins until tender, then stir in the flour, potatoes, garlic and thyme. Fry for 2 mins.
Add the stock, milk and half the sweetcorn to the pan. Simmer over a medium heat for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are tender; season well. Discard the thyme sprigs.
Add the remaining sweetcorn and the spring onions to the baking tray and grill for 6-8 mins until the sweetcorn is lightly charred. Grill the bread for 1 min each side. Sprinkle over the cheese and grill for 2 mins until bubbling. Cut into croutons.
Stir the grilled cauliflower into the chowder and season to taste. Divide between 4 bowls, then scatter with the charred corn, spring onions and croutons.
