Cauliflower Soup

This cauliflower soup is one of my favorite soup recipes, because it is packed with veggies and low in sodium. I love making soups when its cold outside. This recipe makes a lot of servings, so its great to have in the refrigerator for lunch or dinner on those days during the week when you are too busy to cook a full meal. Cauliflower isn’t very flavorful by itself, so the carrots, onion, garlic and sour cream add a lot of flavor to this comforting soup. I remember when I first started cooking I had no idea how to cut up a cauliflower, so I added in some photos below that should be helpful to you. Just remember to remove all of the foliage first before chopping away! *I used almost all organic ingredients for this recipe, but I know in some places it is hard to find access to many organic products.

    I make the same soup, same recipe almost but I roast my cauliflower and garlic (a whole head) and instead of sour cream and milk I use 6 oz plain greek yogurt. Its quickly become one of my favorite soups.

    Great recipe! I added a bit more garlic because I am a garlic freak. I feel healthier when I eat it, AND its so good 🙂

    Yummy! I made this soup for my boys this past weekend and it was a huge hit. I added some croutons on top and serve it with warm bread. Very healthy.
