Cauliflower Soup with Smoked Gouda
I have been waiting for weeks to make this recipe. And since it was a newer one, I wanted to make sure I had the time to really commit to following the recipe and prepping for it. And, honestly, it took me a while to find a good head of cauliflower…
Gouda and croutons??? Yes please! |
But I finally did! I don’t know about you, but I get SO excited about trying a new recipe. It’s like buying a new pair of shoes or new workout gear. Get’s my heart pumping. (Please tell me someone else relates to those things!)
With all my ingredients in hand, I set out to try this newbie. And I adore cauliflower! Raw, roasted, steamed, mashed, etc. And my boys like it, which is a WIN for this mommy…although this one was not such a hit.
The original recipe came from my Eating Well magazine, but I changed a few things. It called for heavy cream, but I used milk instead.

Ingredients:
3 cups whole wheat bread (1/2 inch)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme plus 1 Tbsp, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 head cauliflower, cored and chopped
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup shredded smoked Gouda
1/2 cup skim milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Toss bread in a bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon thyme and garlic powder. Spread onto a baking sheet. Bake, stirring once, until crispy, 14-18 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft – usually 7-9 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon white pepper and 1 tablespoon of thyme; cook, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Add wine, increase heat to high and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
5. Ad cauliflower and 3 1/2 cups broth, cover and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, 10-12 minutes.
6. Puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender (or in batches in a regular blender and return to the pot). Combine remaining 1/2 cup broth and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir into the soup. Return to a simmer over medium heat; simmer, stirring constantly, for 1 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and milk. Serve the soup with croutons
Henry’s face! |
I loved it! The boys..not so much. But they were required to try it. I think it was the consistency. They both really like cauliflower, but I left the consistency kind of chunky, because I prefer it that way.
Tons of flavor though! And if you follow the 21 Day Fix or are doing Hammer and Chisel, it counts as 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1/2 Blue container.
Bon Appetit!
