Comfort Food Alert: This Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe is savory, cheesy, and filled with tender chunks of cauliflower plus all of the comforts of a home-cooked meal!
There’s something about this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe where big, tender chinks of cauliflower are looking up at you from the bowl below that makes me happy. I LOVE soup and I LOVE cauliflower! I enjoy its mild flavor and I love that it’s packed with vitamin C, B-6 vitamins, and other essential nutrients.
This is great cauliflower soup recipe to serve during weeknights, weekends, and even entertaining!
