This tastes a lot like potato soup with cheese, honest! Even my kids love this one; it's hearty, warming and filling. Just perfect for a cold winter day.

1 head cauliflower, cut in flowerets
3 cups chicken broth
6 slices bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

Fry bacon in bottom of soup kettle until nearly done. Add onion and celery and saute until just beginning to soften. Add chicken both, garlic and cauliflower; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is very soft. Remove from stove and puree in food processor, in small batches if necessary, and return to pan. Add cream and shredded cheese. Simmer just until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

35 grams of carb for the whole batch and will serve 6, so roughly 6 grams of carb per serving.

You know the weather's bad when we're still exchanging soup recipes in March.

Seriously, this looks really good. Tomorrow might be a soup night.

Oh, this was really good! And quite filling. Definately a keeper! I added about 1/2 tsp of Thicken Thin /not Starch just to thicken it a bit.

Think this would work in the crockpot?

I suppose you could make it in a crock pot, but the whole thing takes about 30 minutes to a hour to put together including your prep time. Once it's made, I bet it would keep hot in a crock pot nicely or even reheat in it (if you happen to have any leftovers ). Whenever I make a batch of this, there usually isn't much left after the husband and kids have had a whack at it. If I want a bowl of this for lunch the next day, I usually have to sneak a bowl out and put in in the refrigerator before everyone else gets to it.

This was wicked wicked good. It didn't even need cream or cheese. I liked just the cauliflower with bacon and chicken broth.
Thanks for posting!

This was amazing, I made a batch last night and the rest is in the fridge for lunch today .... just divine! - I dropped some of the grated cheese and added some cream cheese (I had some that needed using) and it made it extra creamy ...

Thanks for posting this - its going to be on my "fav" recipe list for a while now!

What do you mean about the cream of chicken?

sounds really good. sue

Anyone tried this using soy milk or skim evaporated rather than heavy cream?

Sound tasty. I'm going to try the soup this week.

We will be making this recipe today....I "love" cream of cauliflower soup.......Thanks

This soup is just what I wanted.....I left some of the cauliflower out then added it to the finished soup for some texture. I seasoned it with garlic powder, onion powder, a bit of seasoned salt and some curry powder....OMG !! it was amazing...
