    Spicy Cauliflower Soup

    I can’t believe I found my kitchen again!  Although I must say as much as I have missed baking/cooking, it’s been great to get away for the reason I have.  I wouldn’t trade all those snuggles and naps with Sweet Baby for anything.  I still can’t spend too much time in the kitchen so everything I do has to be quick, easy, and delicious of course!

    It’s getting colder outside so I was craving a rich and creamy soup.  I love cauliflower and sometimes I even add broccoli into this soup.  One thing I love is that whenever I have leftover potatoes from the previous night or even make too much I can reserve it for this recipe.  This is one of my favorite soups.  I even had to delay cooking and  finishing because the baby needed me. So while I had to refrigerate the mixture before blending it all up it still turned out perfect thanks to my blender.. More on that tomorrow! 🙂
    Spicy Cauliflower Soup
    1 Head of Cauliflower
    1 Small Onion
    3 Gloves Garlic
    2 Cups Milk
    2 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
    4 Ounces Cream Cheese
    Pinch of Pepper, Thyme, and Parsley
    1 Large Potato, (previously cooked. Boiled, baked)
    *Cayenne Pepper
    Chop up cauliflower into florets, slice onion into fourths, and peel garlic.  Place into saucepan with milk, broth, cream cheese, pepper, thyme, and parsley.  Cook until the cauliflower is tender.  Allow to cool slightly and then place into a blender.  Puree the soup until it’s liquid.  Once the soup is smooth add in your precooked potato pulse just a few times as you want there to be potato chunks.  Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste!  * I never add to the entire soup as some like it more mild.

      I like my cauliflower raw. But my mom would like it cooked and spicy!

      Love cauliflower but not the spicy part. I hope this still tastes good without the cayenne pepper

        Jennifer, my husband is not a fan of spicy soup so that’s why I leave it out for him. He actually likes to put a sprinkling of cheddar cheese in. 🙂 the last time I made this I actually ran out of cayenne pepper and I used bacon and of course you can’t go wrong with bacon 🙂

      I love cauliflower raw, but admit that I don’t really cook with it. I’ll give this a try!

      We love love cauliflower, and we love spicy! This sounds delicious–I’d probably allow the potatoes to be a bit chunky.

      The cold weather is coming up and I will be making this soup. Its so hard to find a soup thats easy to make and doesnt include “bad” ingredients. I also think this would be good for colds as well (spicy)

      I can just envision the spicy kick to this. I started liking cauliflower as an adult, so I’d love this!

      I had a cauliflower soup recipe I really liked but I like the way yours sounds with the addition of cream cheese. Cream cheese makes anything delicious. I’m putting this in the rotation. Thanks!

      I’m not normally a hugs cauliflower fan but this creamy soup sounds perfect for fall. I think I’d add a sprinkle of cheese on top like your hubs’ did!

      Although I am not vegetarian, soup is my life! I do have multiple food allergies and find a good soup helps everything in my gut. This is a good delicious soup for me to make, eat and feel good!
