Creamy Cauliflower Soup Recipe – Comforting Homemade Sopa de Coliflor

This homemade cauliflower soup is easy to make, velvety and full of flavor — ideal for lunch or a simple weeknight dinner.

Sopa de coliflor

I used to avoid cauliflower, but recently I’ve been experimenting with cauliflower recipes and discovered how well it works in creamy soups. If you like a smooth, comforting bowl, this cauliflower and cheese soup is a great choice. It’s comforting, easy to prepare and comes together in about 40 minutes.

I like to finish the soup with crispy potato sticks and a pinch of red pepper flakes for texture and a touch of heat. If you prefer, tortilla chips also make a tasty crunchy topping.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 small carrot peeled and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ⅓ cup diced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup cheddar cheese grated
  • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • Red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

 

  • Melt the butter and olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the peeled, diced carrot and the cauliflower florets, stirring to combine.
  • Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the ground cumin and bay leaf, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the grated cheeses until melted. Purée the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. Return the soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, divide into bowls and garnish with red pepper flakes and crispy potato sticks or tortilla chips. Serve warm.
