It is finally starting to get a little chilly here in the South and I couldn’t be happier about it! The second it begins to cool off, I start craving soup! I guess I am not the only one, because I was invited to a little ‘Recipe Night’ gathering last week where the theme was soups! All of the soups were wonderful, but I think my favorite was a cauliflower cheese soup. I couldn’t wait to make it when I got home and found the perfect opportunity since my sister Brittany is here. We made it for lunch one day and it really hit the spot! We both agreed over our second bowls that this soup was divine!
Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Soup is a heartwarming dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or as an appetizer for a special dinner. Its velvety texture and the combination of rich, cheesy flavors make it a favorite for both adults and kids. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let’s create this creamy masterpiece in your kitchen. Get ready to experience a bowlful of pure comfort! I think you will love it as much as we do. It is easy, fast, oh so tasty and just perfect this time of year.
As they say in South, Happy Fall Y’all!!

Description
Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Soup is a heartwarming dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or as an appetizer for a special dinner. Its velvety texture and the combination of rich, cheesy flavors make it a favorite for both adults and kids.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk (or use part half and half for a creamier soup)
- 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- 2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
*the cheese is a personal preference–I really like the mexican blend from Costco–not as flavorful but I always have it on hand and it melts beautifully
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot. Add garlic and onion and sauté until onions are tender. Add flour and stir until mixture clumps up.
- Gradually whisk in milk. Add broth, salt, and cauliflower. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
- Use a hand held immersion blender or you can transfer soup to a blender and pulse until smooth. If you use the blender then return soup to pot. Add cheeses and stir until melted and combined with soup. Serve with extra cheese if desired. My boys like crumbled bacon on top.

I use a similar recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything and even my kids love it! Yours has mustard though and I should definitely try different cheeses like yours! Can’t have too much soup. 😉

This soup looks good! I live in the South too and am more than ready for the cooler weather to come and stay. What is a “Recipe Night” gathering? It sounds like it might be fun.

This looks yummy! I am so happy, too, about cooler weather…soups and sweaters and turning leaves. In St Louis, it’s supposed to be a little warmer than normal the next week but I’m hoping they got the forecast wrong!😌 Thanks for posting this. It is so fun to see your recipes.
