This cauliflower soup actually looks good! My husband doesn't want me to buy cauliflower because he hates it. One time I tried to cook cauliflower in the microwave, and the microwave exploded! I'm not kidding. The recipe for cooked cauliflower said to microwave it for 20 minutes. I've never bought cauliflower again. But I might, now that I have this decent recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny exploding cauliflower. Trust me the cauliflower in this recipe will not explode as its cut small and is immersed in water for cooking.
DeleteI love cauliflower soup! I prefer to steam cauliflower though and it only takes 10-15 minutes if you cut up the cauliflower into small pieces.
ReplyDeleteI do that sometimes too but this is one of my speedy recipes when I am in a hurry.

ReplyDeleteI like soup, but I seldom make it in the microwave. I'll have to try soon
ReplyDeleteI use microwave when I need soup in a hurry.It works well.
DeleteI honestly think soup is one of my favourite things to make, slow roasted tomatoes and red pepper is my current favourite and spicy parsnip but this also looks super delicious and I may try my hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat post

ReplyDeleteTracy I hope you do its really simple but tasty.
DeleteAnother soup to try out, bookmarked! I love cauliflower soup with a hint of cumin and tomato salsa ;) And OH can even eat it without any chunky bits!
ReplyDeleteThat's another great idea. Thanks Sylvia.
DeleteI too had some cauliflower soup for the lunch today. This looks so creamy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm not such a big fan of cauliflower unless it's baked (I like it complete) but I'm definitely going to pass this recipe to my husband who is a soup fan.

Another lovely soup. I made cauliflower soup last week and added wasabi which goes very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good suggestion.I might try it next time.
DeleteI love soup but I've never tried cauliflower soup, this one does look very tasty, I could be tempted.
ReplyDeleteI hope you try it.
DeleteThe soup look delicious, but that carb count won't allow me to indulge. I can only eat 20 carbs a day. If I could satisfy hunger with wishful thinking, I think I'm covered. :)
ReplyDelete@ Bonnie you can omit the potato totally if you like that will reduce the carbs.
DeleteI love the combination of potatoes with cauliflower in pureed soups - it's a wonderful way to add flavor and stretch the starch of the potato...
ReplyDeleteIt makes the soup a little richer and more filling.
DeleteThis looks really nice. I love cauliflower but have never thought about having it in a soup before :)

I am not a fan of cauliflower but my husband is and actually I have come to like this soup too.
DeleteI really cannot imagine cauliflower soup! I would hate to lose the texture of the cauliflower. But I suppose there will be a lot of people who would rather have cauliflower in a soup. Ingenious idea though.
ReplyDeleteActually I am not a big fan of cauliflower but my hubby is and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and texture of this soup so I am totally converted.:)
DeleteI love cauliflower, and will have to try this soup. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it Laurel, do drop back and let me know how you like dthe recipe once you make it.
DeleteI know it sounds silly, but I really didn't think soup could be that easy! Sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing,

DeleteYou had me at cauliflower and this picture just makes it so yummy. Must try this one. xx Donah @ SJB
ReplyDeleteThis looks very healthy. We have a great Czech recipe of breaded cauliflower, although it is not so healthy. Simply cut into pieces, half boil, after cooling cover in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs, fry in a pan. Serve with boiled potatoes. Delicious.

I love this recipe as I do love cauliflower, but I don't know if I have the willpower for the diet.
ReplyDeleteBizarrely I've never had 'just' cauliflower soup - but it sounds delicious. I love adding a little nutmeg to a recipe :)

ReplyDeleteMmm...I love home made veggie soup but have never tried it myself. Think I will be changing that very soon :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks simple enough for me to cook but good enough for me to eat. Perfect.
