Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Vegetable
Delicious! I make this frequently in cooler weather.
"We loved this soup! I happen to have some wild rice left over in the fridge and added it, to my bowl, after a few bites, and a sprinkle of lemon juice and it was even more tasty. Even without the rice, the splash of lemon adds a zesty taste to it. I also used sharp cheddar cheese to this and it turned out great. I'm not a Velveeta fan. I didn't have celery seeds but put in real celery and boiled it with the cauliflower instead. Next time I'll add some garlic and leeks. This recipe has a lot of potential for creative through-ins.

Notes Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower Soup Preparation
In Dutch oven combine cauliflower and a small amount of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain cauliflower; set aside in medium bowl.
In the same Dutch oven melt butter. Stir in flour, celery seed and pepper.
Add half and half and broth all at once. Cook and stir until slightly
thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add cooked
cauliflower. Using a potato masher, mash some of the cauliflower to
slightly thicken the soup.
Add cream cheese and velveeta. Cook over very low heat for 5 minutes or until cheeses are melted, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt if desired.

Delicious. Did not have celery seed so used chopped celery instead. Next time, may add onions and wild rice as suggested earlier. Kids loved it. Served with homemade french bread.

It was easy. Always looking for protein-rich dishes for my vegetarian son. He loved it.

Used half cauliflower and half broccoli very good but less celery seed had to add more milk

I didn't have celery seed so I used regular celery, onions, dill and garlic. I did not add the cream cheese and used 2% milk. The cheese I used was low fat cheddar. This recipe came out wonderful. My DH asked me to make it again today. This time I am going to add fresh mushrooms at the end :) Thanks for a great soup.

I made this for Michelle on Jan 11, 2006. I left the cauliflower a little chunkier, and it turned out wonderful. This is so good, it'd be tough to improve it. ;-)
