CREAMY POTATO CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP

I have a potato soup recipe I love, but I wanted it to be a little less heavy on the carbs (not carb free, but just less). I decided to add cauliflower to replace some of the potatoes, and we couldn't really tell- plus it tasted great. I don't really measure my spices, so do it to your taste.

SLOW-COOKER CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND WHITE BEAN SOUP



Slow-Cooker Cauliflower, Potato and White Bean Soup image

This creamy vegetarian soup is built on humble winter staples, but the addition of sour cream and chives make it feel special. (Crumble a few sour-cream-and-onion chips on top to take the theme all the way.) It takes just a few minutes to throw the ingredients into the slow cooker, and the rest of the recipe almost entirely hands-off, making it very doable on a weekday. If you have one, use an immersion blender to purée it to a silky smooth consistency, but a potato masher works well for a textured, chunky soup.

Time 8h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks
1 pound cauliflower, chopped into large bite-sized florets and stems
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
1/2 yellow onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Coarse kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice (about 1/4 lemon)
8 ounces sour cream (1 cup), at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped chives (about 1 small bunch)
Potato chips, preferably sour cream and onion, for topping
Shredded Cheddar, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, cauliflower, beans, onion, garlic, vegetable stock, butter, wine, thyme, garlic powder and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 hours on low.
  • Remove and discard the thyme sprig, and turn off the slow cooker. Add the lemon juice. To make a completely smooth and creamy soup, purée the ingredients using an immersion blender. (Or, purée the soup in a blender in two batches, transferring the puréed soup to a different pot.) To make a textured, chunky soup, smash the ingredients using a potato masher in the slow cooker. Stir in the sour cream and chives. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with black pepper, crushed potato chips and shredded Cheddar. For leftovers, gently reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave until it just barely bubbles around the edges; don't let it boil or the sour cream will break.

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.

CAULIFLOWER, FENNEL AND POTATO SOUP



Cauliflower, Fennel and Potato Soup image

Puree this soup for a bowl of creamy goodness.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
Pinch of cayenne
1 1/4 cups diced peeled potato
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
1 1/2 cups chopped fennel
1/2 to 1 cup firmly packed fresh parsley, plus more leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, cayenne, 1 cup of the potato, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer.
  • Reserve two florets (about 2 inches in diameter) of the cauliflower. Add the fennel and the remaining cauliflower and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/4 cup potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and heat in the microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully unwrap and set aside to cool.
  • Slice the reserved cauliflower florets thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. (You need about 12 pieces.) Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook until tender and golden brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet. Add the microwaved potato and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until golden brown all over, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot sprinkled with some pan-fried cauliflower and potato and fresh parsley leaves.
  • Note: When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth.

CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND BLUE CHEESE SOUP



Cauliflower, Potato and Blue Cheese Soup image

Another delicious recipe from Donna Hay magazine. We had oregano paste, rather than fresh, so we just added some paste to the soup rather than cooking the sprigs.

CREAMED CAULIFLOWER AND CHUNKY POTATO SOUP



Creamed Cauliflower and Chunky Potato Soup image

This was my first time making homemade Potato Soup, and the following recipe that I came up with was inspired by some of the ingredients in "Potato and Garlic Soup with Herbs" recipe #38045 posted by meow!. It is very filling and healthy as well. My 9month old loved it blended and my two-year old liked it too.

Curried Lentil, Potato, and Cauliflower Soup image

Categories     Potato     Cauliflower     Lentil     Raw     Simmer

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 to 6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup raw brown or green lentils, rinsed
1 large celery stalk, diced
6 cups water
2 large potatoes, scrubbed and diced
One 16-ounce can salt-free diced tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Pinch of ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups finely chopped cauliflower pieces
2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until both are golden.
  • Add the lentils, celery, and water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, tomatoes, curry powder, turmeric, and nutmeg, and simmer until the potatoes are about half done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the cauliflower and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes longer.
