    why you will love this recipe

    • This soup is kid-friendly - yes, you read it right. The cheddar cheese results in a delicious creaminess which means it can be enjoyed by both young and old.
    • This cauliflower soup keeps well in the fridge and is freezer friendly - it will keep in the fridge for up to 3-5 days and in the freezer for up to 6 months.
    • Gluten-free and nut-free - therefore great for those with these special dietary requirements.
    • Tastes equally good with frozen cauliflower - sometimes it may not be possible to go out to the market to get fresh produce. Don't have fresh cauliflower? Don't worry, it is perfectly safe to use frozen cauliflower.
    • Easily adaptable into a vegan soup - to change this soup to a vegan soup, soak 1 cup of cashews overnight and use a high-speed blender to blend into a creamy smoothie. Use this instead of the whipping cream. Use vegan margarine instead of butter.
    • No gourmet ingredients are needed - the recipe uses ingredients that you will most certainly find at your local shop or supermarket.

    how to make the best cheese Keto cauliflower soup

    This is a super quick recipe and involves just a few simple steps. A detailed recipe card has also been provided below.

    1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and cut your cauliflower into florets - frozen cauliflower florets will do too. Slice the shallots or onions.
    2. Saute and add the rest of the vegetables: In a medium-sized pot or pan, briefly saute shallots or onions. Add the cauliflower florets and allow to simmer in vegetable broth.
    3. Add heavy cream and cheese: Stir-in cheese and cream.
    4. Blend: Use an immersion blender to process until smooth.
    5. Serve on plates and garnish with preferred toppings.

    toppings and variations

    The soup is already filling on its own because of the cheese. It also pairs well with the following delicious toppings.

    • Almond silvers - which add a nice crunch to the soup.
    • Chives - give the soup an oniony flavor without being too overbearing.
    • Parsley - is a great topping for almost any soup. This soup is no exception. Parsley also has the added advantage of being readily available.
    • A drizzle of melted butter - adds to the richness of the soup. Also enhances the creamy taste.
    • Low carb or keto bread, or croutons - If you are really hungry then serve it with some sliced low carb or keto bread as a main meal or as an appetizer.
    • Coconut or olive oil - particularly great as a topping for those on a low carb or keto diet.
