Last week I posted Broccoli Soup, which I do really like but I think I liked this Cauliflower Soup even better. It was very mild and creamy. All 6 of us finished our bowls. In fact, we emptied the whole pot. Next time I think I’ll double the recipe.
This recipe is adapted from More with Less Cookbook. Here’s what you’ll need:
Cream of Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut in bite size pieces and steamed until tender
- 4 Tbs butter
- 1/2 onion or small onion diced
- 1/4 cup flour

I made the broccolli soup yesterday and it was awesome…I so look forward to making this one…..THANKS for sharing
My wonderful husband doesn’t eat much without meat. I bet I could add cooked chicken to this soup to make him happy. This looks wonderful! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks, Tiffany! I hope you are recovering quickly from your surgery!
What a good idea!! I should’ve bought that cauliflower that was on sale yesterday…
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog now for a couple months and I just felt compelled to tell you that it is my favorite of all the ones I read. Thank you so much for your work. I thought I’d share an amazing soup recipe with you in case you like asparagus. I used a lower-fat plain cream cheese with some onion powder or dried onions and some chopped green onions. This soup is so good I made it again the very next day! Enjoy!

Molly, thanks so much for the recipe. I might be able to get my kids to try asparagus with this soup. Sounds yummy!
This is very yummy! Kids and husband loved it–I served it with a freshly baked loaf of bread. I also used an immersion blender after adding the steamed cauliflower and cheese just to make it smooth & frothy. Delicious!
STEAM the whole head of cauliflower in a lettuce-saver/ 5 minutes in the microwave!!
Great for Dipping in nacho cheese, too!!
