Hi! It’s been a hot (haha) minute since I shared a recipe with you guys, hasn’t it? I REALLY love creating nourishing delicious recipes like this “cheesy” cauliflower soup. You know what I don’t love? Taking photos. I have a huge number of recipes to share with you guys, so if someone would like to just come take some photos for me that’d be great. 😉
Despite my lack of enthusiasm for food photography, I felt like I couldn’t keep this simple, nourishing, totally comforting soup from you any longer. Don’t let the photo deter you…this bowl is packed with flavor and I know you’re going to love it.
I created this on a whim one night when I still felt kind of snarky (haha..thanks autocorrect…I”ll try not to take offense to that)… SNACKY. For the record, that is a word. I wanted something that was warm, comforting, healthy, and voluminous but not super caloric since this was kind of round two for dinner. I threw together a few of my favorite ingredients and this delightful bowl of soup was born. And then it went on repeat. Last winter I frequently made this for a warm comforting (albeit unconventional) breakfast by adding rotisserie chicken and sometimes a little ghee or extra virgin olive oil.
Here are the things I love about this “cheesy” cauliflower soup:
- You can feel really good about every single ingredient you’re putting into your body with this soup.
- If you can turn on the microwave you can make this soup and it can be put together faster than you can order something or go pick up take-out.
- This can serve as a super satisfying snack (it only has about 140 calories but packs 20 grams of protein). This is loaded with flavor while also delivering a hefty dose of vegetables, protein, B-vitamins, and anti-inflammatory spices.
- The soup has a “cheesy” flavor thanks to nutritional yeast. I’ve professed my love for this ingredient before because it’s a fantastic way for vegans and vegetarians to get a complete protein and B-vitamins. It has a slightly nutty cheesy flavor that I adore.
