Low Carb Cauliflower Cheese Soup
This simple recipe takes the classic flavours of cauliflower cheese and transforms them into a nourishing soup!
Rich with cheddar and cream cheese, this keto friendly soup is packed with flavour and fats and a heaping of low carb veggies. Although the recipe calls for vegetable stock, to reduce the carb count further, simply replace with boiling water.
This warming soup would serve 4 as a lunch or 2 for a hearty dinner.

Very good! I used better than bullion vegetable with water, I also used onion powder not real onions it gives it flavor without tasting like onions. It's a lunch recipe so it was enough to satisfy

It tasted more like onion soup than cauliflower. I will try it without the onion next time.

Very good! Will make again. I used an immersion blender and that worked great

So is one little fist size of soup really 376 cals? Or am I doing this wrong?

Recipe looks like it would be a good 1 cup serving each.

Good but only 3 stars because for 1 serving, it's nearly as much fat as a Wendy's single with cheese or a burger king Whopper junior

Healthier ingredients than Wendy's.

Very good taste but… too many carbs!

I’ll be making this tonight, Cauliflower soup is always a hit with us. I use roasted cauliflower and sautéed rosemary in EVOO til crispy. Purée roasted cauliflower with the rosemary flavored EVOO and add cream if desired. I also use a couple cups to 1 qt of my homemade stock. Sprinkle with parm and parsley. I am going to replace the red onion with scallion and save almost 2 grams of carbs per serving. Scallions are half the carbs of onions.

Very nice, silky smooth soup. I made with water but next time I think I use chicken broth to add a touch more flavour.

On the vegetable base Knorr it says 500 ML‘s of water but recipe calls for 3 cups when you make it. Do we just add one more cup of water with it?
UnbelievableKale940601 3 years ago
This is awesome! I did not realize it made 4 serving silly me I thought I was gonna get to eat the whole thing! Ha - I used half chives and just a little bit of a red onion to cut the carbs down awesome!

This was literally the best cauliflower soup recipe I have tried! Added some fresh rosemary and oregano from my garden before I blended it. So delish!

So delicious. I swapped out onion for celery to reduce carbs and it was still great. Wish I could’ve eaten more than 1 serving :( leftovers tomorrow!! :)

I do not like cauliflower, but this is fantastic!
MirthfulKale242698 3 years ago
Had to add more spices, and I added some bacon too. But really good!

I always use chives whenever a recipe calls for onion. Saves carbs but you still get onion taste.
GorgeousKale153 3 years ago
How many/much chives do you add?

This is amazing! And so easy and I'm someone who hates cooking. Lol. Definitely will be making again.

Putting everything in the crockpot really makes this a snappy recipe. I have done it various ways...everything except cheeses...sautéing onions and garlic first or not. After everything is cooked I use my stick blender to mash up the cauliflower and then add the cheeses. I use the stick blender again and ohhh so easy and yummy!!
