Skinny Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Skinny Creamy Cauliflower Soup

The first time I made this soup, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I wasn’t sure it would be that great.  It’s basically made of pureed cauliflower, and to me, this sounds very similar to baby food.  However, this soup definitely proved my early judgments to be wrong, and it ended up shining as a great healthy and delicious meal.  When cauliflower is pureed, it gives off a really creamy and decadent texture, and you forget that what you are eating is actually really healthy and good for you.

When I made the soup, I made it vegetarian style, but it could be made for meat eaters as well.  You can substitute chicken stock for the vegetable stock if you have that on hand, and for a little something extra, you could add chopped bacon as a garnish (I imagine it would give the feeling of baked potato soup).

This soup is great for freezing, and I always make a double batch and freeze half of it.  It’s super cheap, low calorie, low carb, and so tasty! It takes about 20-25 minutes to make, and you can serve it as a main dish or a side dish.

I didn’t take any pictures while cooking, because I wasn’t sure about this, like I said earlier.  It’s easy though, so don’t worry!

        It was awesome!! Went great with the BLTs!! We used full fat version of the ingredients for my little one’s sake (he needs the fat & calories in his special CF diet) and it turned out so creamy and sweet and rich!! Loved it! πŸ™‚

            Yes, I don’t think I would get the baby OR the six-year-old to eat cauliflower by itself, but they didn’t even know what was in the soup. My six-year-old was playing outside when it was simmering, and came running in asking “What’s that smell?? Is that SUPPER? It smells kinda good!” I’m not sure why he was so shocked…. I’m not THAT bad of a cook!!! πŸ˜‰ lol!
