Cream of Cauliflower Cheese Soup

This loaded cream of cauliflower cheese soup is a healthy option that is full of flavor.

Cauliflower soup can be bland. But not this version!

It’s cheesy and creamy thanks to a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.

Chopped onions and celery are a must as to the base of this soup.

Sautéing them in a little olive oil before adding in the cauliflower with broth and milk helps punch up the flavor.

Is this cream of cauliflower cheese soup healthy?

Yes! This creamy, cheesy soup is low-carb, keto friendly and gluten-free.

Enjoy a bowl for lunch or as a elegant starter to a holiday meal.

This cream of cauliflower cheese soup requires just a few ingredients, an immersion blender and a few minutes of your time.

The result is a simple and smooth soup that is full of flavor and ideal during colder temperatures.

Fresh thyme leaves from the garden add a dry minty flavor that is the perfect addition to so many winter soups and chowders.

Eat it as is or top each bowl with crispy bacon, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses or toasted croutons.

The recipe makes plenty. Freeze the leftovers after cooling completely or store the leftovers for a few days in the fridge.

Can you freeze cauliflower cheese soup?

Chowders and bisques, and other soups that contain milk or cream, don not freeze well. They tend to take on a grainy texture and separate when defrosted and rewarmed.

Make this soup fresh and enjoy it over a few days as a side dish at dinner or enjoy a bowl of this soup for lunch.
