In this recipe, you can learn how to make a delicious healthy low-carb cauliflower soup. One of the great things about cauliflower is how well it takes on the flavors of other ingredients. In this case, the more pungent goat cheese adds an interesting and delicious dimension to the finished result.

Ingredients for Soup :

1 large head cauliflower, rinsed, tough outer leaves removed
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, roughly chopped
2 green onions, rinsed, roots and dried ends removed
2 tsp dried parsley
2-3 tbsp water
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3-4 cup organic chicken or vegetable stock, divided
4 oz. log goat cheese, cut into chunks
Optional Garnish: Sliced green onions, green parts only

How to Make Cauliflower Soup :

Step One:

Cut up the cauliflower, stems included, into small pieces and place in a large colander. Rinse thoroughly under running water and let drain briefly when finished.

Step Two:

Place cauliflower in a large, microwave-safe dish with garlic, the white part of the green onions, and the dried parsley. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step Three:

Cover container and microwave on high until the cauliflower is fork-tender, approximately 6-7 minutes. (Actual cooking time will vary depending on microwave strength and the amount of cauliflower used, so test after 4 minutes and adjust cooking time accordingly).

Step Four:

Remove from microwave, and fill blender container nearly half full with the steamed cauliflower mixture. Add 1 cup stock to the blender and blend until smooth. (Make sure the blender lid is adequately vented to allow steam to escape before turning on the blender).

Step Five:

Pour cauliflower puree into a large soup pot and repeat with the remaining steamed cauliflower mixture and stock until it has all been pureed and transferred to the pot.

Step Six:

Turn heat to medium and cook until the cauliflower mixture is heated through, about 5-6 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add the goat cheese and stir until blended. Cook another minute or two, or until the soup is uniformly heated. If the soup is too thick, add additional stock to reach the desired consistency. If it is too thin, continue cooking until excess moisture has been reduced.

Step Seven:

Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Planning Tip :

If you want more robust flavors, roast the cauliflower and onion before blending. The flavor will be more complex, but be aware the soup will take on a darker brown color as a result.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve immediately topped with sliced green onion or crumbled bacon. This quick and versatile creamy low-carb cauliflower soup makes a nice, light appetizer or a filling lunch when paired with a crisp, green salad like Low Carb Easy Broccoli Salad with bacon or Keto Broccoli Slaw Recipe.
