Karen’s Almost Famous Cream Of Cauliflower Soup

September 3, 2015 by Karen Giebel Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I have a few recipes that I laughingly refer to as “almost famous” because they are the ones that I always get requests for. This is one of them. I have been making this soup for so many years that I can’t remember ever NOT making it. My recipe was also included in the cookbook my kids elementary school published way back in the 80’s. So that gives this recipe an extra boost of  “almost famous!”  You can easily double this recipe which I did for many years when my family was home. Now it makes the perfect amount for Dan and I to have a couple of bowls apiece. My soup season starts right now, in September and for us Northerners, cauliflower is just coming into its own this month. I love cauliflower but even if you don’t I bet this soup will change your mind!

Cream Of Cauliflower Soup

Such an easy recipe and it comes together rather quickly so you can have it on the table for lunch in no time! You're getting a nice serving of vegetables which offsets the half n half and cheese, or so I say!
