CREAM CHEESE This might sound like a cream of cauliflower recipe, but the "cream of" is actually cream cheese. This "no cream" recipe is lower in fat and calories but still delivers a smooth, cream-like consistency. For a vegan option, use a dairy free cream cheese instead.

VEGETABLES Cauliflower florets are cooked in a soup with sautéed onions, garlic, celery, and a bay leaf. Feel free to add in broccoli, potato, or other favorites as desired, but be aware that certain veggies are not considered to be low carb.

BROTH For a truly vegan soup switch out the chicken broth for vegetable broth.

ADD-INS Continue to keep it low carb. Make a keto soup by adding roast chicken, or roasted broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, even shredded cheese or sliced green onions as a garnish.

How To Make Cauliflower Soup

Easy healthy and delicious is where it's at when comes to cooking for a low carb lifestyle. This soup fits the bill with simple ingredients and three easy steps!

1. Sauté the onion and garlic in butter.
2. Add celery, cauliflower, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Cook.
3. Remove bay leaf, add cream cheese, then blend with an immersion blender till smooth.

For a Crockpot or slow cooker version:

1. Sauté the onion and garlic in butter.
2. Add all ingredients to the Crockpot, and cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
3. Mix in cream cheese and blend as directed.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• If broccoli is added to the soup, toss them in olive oil and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes to add an additional depth of flavor to this cauliflower soup.
• No immersion blender? No problem! Remove the amount of soup you want blended and use a blender, electric mixer, or a personal blender. Always face the caps from blenders away from your face to avoid the release of steam.

Leftovers

Cauliflower soup keeps remarkably well in the refrigerator as long as it's covered. Up to 5 days, simply reheat on the stove and add salt & pepper or other seasonings or cheese as desired. Cauliflower soup can also be frozen by scooping into quart or gallon-sized bags, writing the date on the outside. It will keep it's flavor for about 3 months in the freezer.
