Time 50m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 thin slices bacon, cut into small bits
1 white onion, finely diced
1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
1/2 teaspoon Cajun spice, or more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups (2 quarts) low-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, fry the bacon pieces over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and set aside. Pour off the grease and return the pot to the stove.
  • Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower starts turning golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture slightly, or all the way if you prefer. (Or use a regular blender; just don't fill too full.)
  • In a separate saucepan or skillet, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Pour in the milk, then continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the half-and-half.
  • Pour the white sauce into the soup. Turn the heat to medium high and bring back to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the cheese and sour cream until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the parsley.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a little extra cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and a sprinkle of parsley.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER CHEESE SOUP

I love this soup! My kids like it pureed really smooth, but I tend to like it a little "lumpier." You can puree it as smooth as you like.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 40m

Yield 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
32 ounces chicken stock
4 cups water
2 (16 ounce) bags frozen cauliflower
1 small potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
salt and pepper (I needed at least 1-2 tsp salt)
1 dash nutmeg

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium. Saute garlic in butter over medium heat for 1 minute. Add cauliflower, stock, and water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes and add potatoes. Boil for another 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are very soft (fork goes right through them). Blend with immersion blender or blend in batches in blender. Add fat free half and half and heavy cream and stir. Add cheeses and lower to low heat, stir until melted. Add nutmeg, taste and season with salt and pepper. I would make some homemade croutons and serve the soup with two floating on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Add the goat cheese at the end: Stir in the goat cheese just before serving. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.

Conclusion:

Creamy cauliflower goat cheese soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, tangy, or mild, this soup is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a warm and cozy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
