Creamy Cauliflower & Potato Soup

   This soup is amazing! I did find it in another blog but this time ended up changing it a bit! I added garlic and roasted the cauliflower this time.. It's simple and easy to make.

 Also, love my soup thick not watery. If you prefer it smoother you can use half head of the cauliflower.

Ingredients:3-4 Medium potatoes chopped 
1 small head cauliflower chopped (roasted)
1 small onion chopped
1-2 minced garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cups warm water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
 Sharp cheddar cheese (optional)


1) Toss the chopped cauliflower with oil, salt, & pepper into a baking sheet.
2) Roast the cauliflower in preheated oven at 400f until lightly brown about 20 minutes
3)  Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to a medium soup pot and turn the heat to medium
4)  Dice the onion and add it to the soup pot with olive oil.
5) Saute for a couple minutes.
6) Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute
7)  Add roasted cauliflower and potatoes to the pot with onions and cook until onions become transparent.
8) Pour in four cups of water. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and bring to a boil
9) When water boils, add one cup of Heavy Whipping cream. Let it cook until potatoes are cooked through about 15-20 minutes
10) Remove from heat
11) Puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency with a stick blender

To serve top with your amount of sharp cheddar cheese and enjoy!!! :)


 Have a great day!
