Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Adapted from this recipe

Serves 4


1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups chicken or "no chicken" broth

1 medium (2 1/2 pound) cauliflower, cored and chopped into florets

4 oz cream cheese, cut into 6 pieces (or I used 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt)

1/4 cup heavy cream (can use half-and-half or whole milk)

1 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish (can use dried)

salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese


In a large saucepan, cook onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add broth and cauliflower. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.


Add cream cheese (or greek yogurt), and mash cauliflower with a potato masher. Stir in the cream. Puree with an immersion blender, (or in a regular blender in batches). Stir in chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with cheddar cheese and chives sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
