Creamy Soup Lovers!
Where are my creamy soup lovers at?! This soup is for YOU. It’s super easy to whip together, doesn’t take all day to make, and uses very few ingredients. Talk about a triple win! It’s such a delicious combination of savory winter veggies (hellooo, cauliflower, potatoes, onions), blended together with a perfect mix of spices and herbs (haiiii, fresh rosemary, garlic cloves, salt and pepper) and chicken broth to create the most creamy cauliflower potato soup. And then topped with all your go-tos you typically layer on top of a loaded baked potato. YUM. Does it get any better?! Let’s get into it:How to Make Potato Soup
There are many potato soup recipes that are are finicky to make, and require lots of steps blending certain portions of the recipe. Not this cauliflower potato soup recipe! We’ll walk you through how to make it, and it comes together in 5 simple steps!Step 1: Prep and Roast
Prep the potatoes, cauliflower, onions, garlic and spices, and toss them with olive oil and place on oiled baking sheet. Roast at 450 degrees for 30-40 minutes, tossing again half way through.
Step 2: Separate Veggies
Once vegetables are cooked, remove from oven and scoop 1 cup of mixed vegetables into a bowl and set aside. You’ll keep this for adding back to your blended soup in the next step.Step 3: Blend Soup
Pour the rest of the cooked vegetables into a Vitamix or blender, add broth (feel free to use vegetable broth to keep this recipe vegetarian!), and blend until smooth. Pro Tip: Depending on how chunky you like your soup (or not chunky!), feel free to add the 1 cup of mixed vegetables back in and pulse briefly, or add back in without blending at all.
Step 4: Simmer Time
Add the blended soup and remaining veggies to a large stock pot on the stove top and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes. This will give you time to prepare the toppings 😀Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Your soup is ready! Enjoy! Serve in bowls, and top with bacon bits, green onion, roasted red peppers, and shredded cheese of your choice!
Storing Loaded Potato Soup
Store your soup in an air-tight container in either the refrigerator or freezer. This soup will keep for 5-7 days in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.Freezing Potato Soup
This soup will absolutely freeze well! We suggest freezing this soup BEFORE topping with any cheese. However, if you have already made a big batch and topped with any type of cheese, feel free to freeze the soup as is. It’s not a deal breaker, but just know the texture of dairy can change once frozen and then thawed. For thawing: we recommend thawing overnight in the refrigerator before reheating over low heat on the stovetop. Frozen soup that has been thawed may require adding more broth than if it was never frozen.More Soup Recipes

Made this today and don’t think I’d make again. It was too garlicky, and I only used 2 cloves. Also, the roasted onion and cauliflower made it a dark brown colour which wasn’t appetizing. With so many great recipes on this site, skip this one.
I’m gonna try this soup but the way this cooked because I love chunky soup. I’m just going to boil everything together add a little maggi pollo to the broth for flavor and at the last minute I will add the green onions and bacon bonappetit. Thank you.
Made this recipe, and it definitely needed to be salted and peppered to taste. I added smoked paprika, onion powder, hint of nutmeg, and also some grated Parmesan. I did not use my mixer to blend, used my potato masher and added 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to continue to thicken. Fresh rosemary minced is the added herb needed; had also used bay leaves (2-3) small leaves. This recipe was a great way to use a large head of cauliflower and some leftover potatoes.
Made this today, and it’s delicious. It is a bit bland, though, so needs a goodly amount of salt and pepper, and the toppings are absolutely a necessity.
