Cream of Cauliflower Soup

Last week when I made those airfryer cauli-tots everyone loved, I purchased an extra cauliflower head for a “just-in-case” cream of cauliflower soup.  It finally happened!  It was mid-week.  I came home from a school meeting with not enough time to thaw or prep anything ahead of time.  I had a screaming hangry kid and an empty fridge for me to magically summon for a quick, hearty meal. The lonely cauliflower head called me from deep inside the deserted refrigerator and a cream of cauliflower soup was born. (Cue the angels singing from the heavens).

Yes, it was heavenly for me and suprisingly devoured by my son.  I think it was the addition of the starchiest potato I could find that did the trick.  Bowls flowed and everyone was happy, satiated and soup night was officially added to our winter schedule in my household.  This creamy soup was sufficient as a light meal but can also be served before a panfried salmon filet or baked chicken breast.  I will even dare to say that I would serve this as a fancy appetizer topped with a buttery toasted crouton.

If you are looking for a less creamy taste and more cauliflower flavor in this soup, omit the potato or include just half.  It’s a perfect recipe to modify to your liking.  Enjoy!
