Cauliflower Chowder Recipe

February 7, 2015 by Susan Bewley

Cauliflower-Chowder-Recipe
I don’t know about you guys, but when it’s cold and snow outside, I love to make a good soup. The problem is that many of the soups I make my family is…well..getting tired of eating. Don’t get me wrong, I have some awesome recipes but you can only make them so often, you know? With the current cauliflower kick on Pinterest, I have been experiment with a variety of different recipes and love trying out recipes recommended by friends. Recently, I discovered a super yummy chowder recipe that is out of this world – Cauliflower Chowder!

As you can see from the recipe, it is pretty straight forward and easy, making it a great choice for those nights where I didn’t put a great of planning into cooking. Feel free to tell us what you think!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  3. Melt butter in a large. When properly heated, add garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in cauliflower and bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened about 3-4 minutes.

    I pinned that recipe. I never would have thought to make cauliflower soup. It actually sounds pretty good. I like it, but have only eaten the frozen, bagged variety swimming in cheese sauce. This is a much healthier way to eat cauliflower. Thanks! I’m only giving it 4 stars just because I haven’t it yet.

    I have never made homemade soup before because my sister always made it and brought several jars to me every time she made it. She passed away 3 years ago, so I guess it’s time I tried to make it. Your recipe looks wonderful, so I will give it a try. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

    This would go over really well in my family. Our household has always been really big on homemade soups. I absolutely love cauliflower. I even eat it cooked as a fun snack! I am always trying to find new ways to incorporate it into recipes. This has a great combination of ingredients, and will be great during the upcoming cold weather months!
