This easy cauliflower soup recipe is thick, creamy and delicious!  If you like cauliflower, you will love this delicious soup!

I’m happy!  And not just because this easy cauliflower soup is scrumptious.

I’m happy because Christopher has come around.  His opinion of soup has changed!

Hallelujah!

He never really considered it a proper meal.  He always thought it was a side dish… of sorts.  Here are his actual words when he tasted some of this soup.

“Wow, I like soup now.”

I just blinked at him.  Who is this man that I’ve been married to for 28 years?  Is this a pod person?  All these questions rolled around in my head as I sat there blinking.

“Did you hear me?”  He asked.

“Yes, I just don’t believe it.”

He chuckled and spooned some more soup in his mouth.

Helpful tips

• I prefer to use a large cauliflower but if you can only medium/small, use two.
• Immersion blenders are a must have because it makes it easy to blend things in a pan. Which means you have less mess than if you were to transfer the soup in batches to a blender.
• A good stockpot is also a great addition to any kitchen. I use my Dutch oven a lot when I need a stockpot.
• For the sour cream dribbles, I spoon some sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the corner off and pipe it on the soup.
