Cauliflower Cheese Soup

About

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.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head (5-6 in. dia) cauliflower
• 1 small red onions
• 1 clove garlic
• 5 ounce cream cheese
• 0.2 teaspoon spices nutmeg ground
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoon butter
• 3 cup vegetable stock pot by knorr

4. Transfer the soup to a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the saucepan over medium/low heat and add the cream cheese, cheddar, and nutmeg. Season well.
5. Stir the soup over the heat until the cheese has completely melted and the soup is piping hot – do not boil.
