Cream of cauliflower soup couldn't be easier to make. You only need a handful of ingredients and a blender to make it happen. Because of that, the recipe below becomes a go-to meal when you want something creamy and comforting. The real key to making this successful is using a good stock. Chicken stock is more full-flavored than vegetable stock, and many people have it on hand.
If you want to make this dish more interesting, crisp up a few slices of bacon and serve them on top as a garnish. Or add shredded chicken or pork into the soup after you puree it. If you want to keep it vegetarian, toss in some roasted vegetables to add texture. The possibilities are endless because this soup is essentially a comforting blank canvas of a meal.
