Get the Recipe: Loaded Cauliflower Soup
A delicious, creamy cauliflower soup, topped with cheese, bacon and green onions.
Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk, or 3%, but not 1% or skim
- 6 cups chopped cauliflower
- 1/3 cup chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Toppings:
- Additional shredded cheddar cheese
- Additional chopped green onion
- Crumbled, cooked bacon
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, milk, chopped cauliflower and 1/3 cup chopped green onion. Increase heat to medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring regularly, until cauliflower is tender. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, break up the cauliflower pieces just slightly, being sure to leave some chunky pieces in the soup.
- Stir in sour cream and 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese and allow to warm through for a few minutes. Taste soup and season well with salt and freshly ground pepper (Be generous with the salt. If it tastes bland at all, it needs more salt!)
- Serve topped with additional shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion and crumbled cooked bacon.
