Cauliflower Soup

Jump to Cauliflower Soup Recipe

The other day I had this strange craving for cauliflower soup. Came outta no where. I’m not even sure the last time I had cauliflower soup, years maybe? I had a head of cauliflower in my fridge which definitely looked like it was ready to turn in the next few days so I made myself some cauliflower soup. Also, I’ve never made cauliflower soup. I do strange things like this, it’s normal.

First thing was roast the cauliflower. I LOVE roasted cauliflower, those tiny slight crunchy and salty pieces are so addicting. Then mostly just everything in the pot and simmer simmer simmer. Next step, immersion blender. I’m pretty sure I’ve used my immersion blender 4 times since I got it 2 years ago. When I got it, I was thinking I would use it all the time. Apparently there are not as many immersion opportunities in my life as I thought. You can also use a good old blender if you don’t have an immersion blender.

This turned out SO good and I couldn’t stop eating it straight from the pot. You can definitely make this vegetarian by just using veggie stock. So easy, healthy and delicious!
