Crock Pot Cauliflower Soup

Crock Pot Cauliflower Soup

Crock Pot Cauliflower Soup hits the spot. Cauliflower recipes have become so popular in the past few years. I guess the popularity of low carb dieting is what has everyone falling in love with fresh cauliflower.

This cauliflower soup recipe is chunky, cheesy and delicious. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner.  Crock pot soup recipes freeze very well in case you have leftovers you’d like to save.

I love to freeze a single serving of my crock pot soup recipes so when I need a quick lunch I can pop the frozen soup in the microwave to heat.

If you would like a creamier version of this cauliflower soup once the cauliflower is nice and tender scoop it out with a ladle and blend the pieces of cauliflower until they turn thick and creamy. Pour it back into the crock pot slow cooker and continue heating the slow cooker cauliflower soup until it is nice and hot.
