Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Buffalo Cauliflower Soup

[heart_this] · Feb 2, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Buffalo Cauliflower Soup

A smooth and creamy cauliflower soup with all of the flavours of buffalo chicken wings (without the chicken).

Cauliflower soup and buffalo chicken wings are both among my favourite foods and the combination of them works so well in this buffalo cauliflower soup! This recipe is pretty much a simple cauliflower soup recipe with the flavours of buffalo chicken wings! The buffalo hot sauce is the main flavour and since buffalo wings are often served with carrot and celery sticks on the side, this soup includes carrots and celery, along with onion. Buffalo wings are also served with a creamy dip, often a ranch dressing dip or a blue cheese dip so the soup is made creamy with cream cheese and cheddar cheese and I like to include ranch dressing herbs: dill, chives and parsley. I am a fan of blue cheese so I would normally mix it right into the soup but because some people are not fans, I leave it as an optional ingredient for the soup, and I serve it with some crumbled blue cheese on the side to sprinkle on! This buffalo cauliflower soup is amazing as a side or as a light meal!
