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.

Cauliflower Broccoli Cheese Soup

[heart_this] · Mar 6, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Cauliflower Broccoli Cheese Soup

A quick and easy soup with cauliflower and broccoli along with plenty of cheese!

This cauliflower, broccoli and cheese soup is one of my all time favourites; pure comfort food in a bowl. It’s super easy to make, only requiring one pot, and it takes very little time! The stars of the show are the cauliflower and broccoli and you can use either fresh or frozen. The base of the soup starts with the usually soup veggies: onions carrot and celery, and it’s seasoned simply with garlic, thyme, dijon mustard and a pinch of nutmeg. The cauliflower and broccoli are simmered in broth until tender and then they can be left as bite sized pieces, or they can be mashed partially, or you can completely puree until smooth! (I like all options and alternate between them!) Once everything is cooked, the cream and cheese is added and when the cheese has melted it’s ready to enjoy! This soup stores well in the fridge or freezer and it reheats well, just don’t bring it to a boil when reheating to prevent the cheese from clumping.
