Cauliflower Chowder

The perfect low-carb soup for a crisp fall day. 


Since fall arrived made it’s debut a couple weekends ago, I have been obsessed with making soups, chili, and warm comfort food. I’m a lover of potato soup–but when I saw this lovely creation I decided this needed to be made. As a huge fan of broccoli cheese soup, I had no doubt using cauliflower in a soup would be equally as delicious. 


On top of sneaking in all the veggies that my son would have no idea he was eating, I added in greek yogurt at the end. To offset all the healthy stuff, you know I had to cook up some bacon and crumble that goodness on top with some cheddar cheese. I am convinced that if I hadn’t told my husband that this soup was cauliflower he would have no idea what he was eating. Seriously the whole family will love this–I promise.

    Hmmm wonder if I could trick my hubby into liking this? He likes potato creamy soups so maybe. Thanks for the recipe. I hopped over from the homesteader blog hop.
