Cream Of Cauliflower Soup
If you are looking for low-carb, delicious creamy soup without addition of any cream, this recipe is perfect fit for you. Cream of cauliflower soup consistency that I prefer is thick and creamy. Feel free to alter the consistency to your preference.
You can thin down the soup consistency by adding more milk/water. Make it completely vegan by replacing chicken stock with vegetable stock and diary product milk with almond milk.
Cauliflower is an amazing vegetable, but in terms of flavors it’s a bland and it needs help from the flavoring department to enhance it’s taste. You can add any flavor of your choice. We went with simple flavors from garlic, onion, salt, pepper and the flavors from stock!
