Creamy Cauliflower Soup image

A new favorite. Using frozen riced cauliflower makes it an even easier meal. You can reduce the amount of fat in the recipe by using spread rather than butter, skim milk, etc.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 c finely chopped cauliflower (appx. 1 medium head)
4 Tbsp butter
1 medium carrot, grated
1/4 c chopped celery
1/2 c chopped onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
4 Tbsp flour
2 1/2 c boiling water
2 tsp chicken bouillon or broth mix
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/4 c shredded velveeta or cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c milk (can use skim or a combo with half and half)

Steps:

  • 1. Steam cauliflower in microwave until soft. Note - frozen riced cauliflower works just as well and is quick. Drain.
  • 2. While you are steaming the cauliflower, melt the butter and sauté the carrot, celery, onion, jalapeno and garlic until soft.
  • 3. Add the flour to make a roux, whisking constantly. Whisk in the water and bouillon/broth mix and cook until thick.
  • 4. Stir in the cooked cauliflower and seasonings.
  • 5. Continue stirring and add the Velveeta until melted. Heat to almost boiling. Use a hand blender to smooth it out a little.
  • 6. Heat the milk in the microwave to take the chill off. Any level of milk works here as well as using fat free half and half.
  • 7. Stir in the milk and heat to desired temperature. You can add up to an additional 1/2 cup of milk to get to your desired consistency.
