TWO CHEESE POTATO & CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Two Cheese Potato & Cauliflower Soup image

I found this recipe before I decided to follow a lower fat diet, so I often reduce the cheese amount and it works just as well. I've also combined it with the Weight Watchers Baked Potato Soup #261058 for a nice lower fat recipe. I use broth when doing the baked potato version. Also adding roasted garlic is quite tasty. Can do the potatoes peeled or unpeeled. The cauliflower can be fresh or frozen.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II



Cream of Cauliflower Soup II image

I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower florets will give your soup the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Roast the cauliflower before cooking: Roasting the cauliflower before adding it to the soup intensifies its flavor and gives it a slightly caramelized texture. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your soup. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to season your soup to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good starting points. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or nutmeg.
  • Serve the soup hot: Cauliflower cheese soup is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with additional cheese, croutons, or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a pot of soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cauliflower cheese soup a try.
