A bowl of Cauliflower Broccoli Cheese Soup This is a lightened version of a creamy broccoli cheese soup. Instead of using potatoes and roux made from flour and butter, I simply use cauliflower. You can have the same comforting soup with a fraction of the calories. If you'd like to make this vegetarian or even vegan, you can use veggie broth, almond milk, and cashew cheese. Yum!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped onion
4 cups chopped cauliflower
3 cups chopped broccoli
salt and pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
4 cups any type of broth
1/3 cup milk, half & half, or cream
1 to 2 cup shredded cheese

Steps:

Heat some oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook onions until softened, a few minutes.

Stir in chopped cauliflower and broccoli.

Add some salt and pepper. Stir in garlic powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until edges are a bit browned.

Add broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until all veggies are soft.

Use an immersion blender or transfer soup to a blender. Puree soup until super smooth.

I'll have to try this and it's nice that you can use whatever milk product you have on hand. I might even add other ingredients that need to be used up.
Soup is good but not always that appealing but this looks yummy.
