Creamy Parmesan Sundried Tomato and Spinach Tortellini Cauliflower Soup

[heart_this] · Jan 25, 2016 · 17 Comments

Creamy Parmesan Sundried Tomato and Spinach Tortellini Cauliflower Soup

A quick, easy and super tasty creamy parmesan and sundered tomato cauliflower soup with spinach, tortellini and basil!

It’s time for another comforting soup recipe to stave off the chill weather and this time is a creamy parmesan sundried tomato and spinach tortellini cauliflower soup! When I hear the word creamy in a soup I immediately think of copious amounts of heavy/whipping cream but in this soup I get the creaminess by using pureed cauliflower which gets things nice and creamy while keeping it light and healthy! Up next is the sundried tomatoes and I use a jar of oil packed sundried tomatoes where I puree half of them to infuse the soup with their flavour and I slice the remaining tomatoes so that you gets hits of their intense flavour when chewing on them! Of course there is plenty of freshly grated parmesan melted into the soup along with wilted spinach and fresh basil to finish it off. Whether you are looking for a comforting of soup to shake off the chill of a cold day or a soul warming bowl to curl up in your favourite chair with at the end of a long day this creamy parmesan sundried tomato and spinach tortellini cauliflower soup is just what you are looking for!

    This was delicious! I did not have the sundried tomatoes on hand, and I substituted grated fontina cheese as I did not have any parmesan. I will definitely be making this recipe again. Thank you for another delicious recipe!
