Recipe: Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and chicken broth, and allow the mixture to come to a boil., stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until cauliflower is soft enough to mash, about 10 minutes (15-18 minutes if you used cauliflower florets instead of riced.)

Add the cream cheese, and mash the mixture.

Add the heavy whipping cream and puree the mixture in your blender and then return back to pan to reheat it a bit. Season the soup with pink Himalayan salt and black pepper. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese on top. Makes 4 servings.

Variations:

• Top with crumbled bacon and/or scallions.
• Add 1 chicken breast (boiled and shredded) and extra cup of chicken broth at the blender stage.
