Broccoli and cauliflower are two of my all time favorite vegetables. I was craving cauliflower so I went on a hunt for a good cauliflower soup recipe. I ran across this one on Allrecipes.com and knew it would be a hit.
Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken broth (we used vegetable broth)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 head cauliflower, finely chopped
- ½ head broccoli, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules (again we used vegetable bouillon)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk (we used ½ and ½ for a little more creaminess)
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (we put ½ cup in and left the rest for add-ins)
Instructions
- In a stockpot, combine broth, onion, cauliflower, and broccoli. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer until vegetables are tender.
- Season with curry powder, bouillon, salt, and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine flour and ½ cup of the milk, ½ and ½ or cream (depending on your desired level of "creaminess").
- Whisk briskly until there are no lumps. Add mixture to soup, stirring continuously as soup thickens.
- Stir in desired amount of Cheddar cheese until completely melted. Although the recipe calls for 2 cups, I only put in ½ a cup and allowed everyone to add their own desired amount).
- If you like a little creamier soup, pull out ¼ of the soup and run through a food processor... then re-add to the soup and stir.
This was a huge hit and everyone devoured it, even the littlest kids. We have picky children when it comes to cheese so I put a minimal amount in the soup and allow everyone to add as much as they desire. Serve it chunky or run a little through the food processor like I did to “cream” it up a bit.
We served this with our Gluten Free White Bread and it was yummmmmy.
Wow this sounds so yummy and I just happen to have a cauliflower I need to use. I can’t wait to try it.
This looks great. And not too hard to make.
I made the soup for when my family came over, It is gone! They absolutely loved it! Could have made another batch. LOL Thanks again for sharing the recipe.
I love broccoli and cauliflower so this soup should be so delicious. I have to try it. The weather here is cooling off so now I can make it anytime. Yummy. I can eat soup when it’s hot or cold outside but my husband won’t until the weather gets cooler.
I love soups. I will be adding this to my recipe list.
How I have to try this soup. I use to love getting the Broccoli Cheese soup at Big Boys. It was awesome! This sounds fabulous. They had little chunks of ham in their’s as well.

This sounds sooooo wonderful! I too love broccoli AND cauliflower. I love broccoli and cheese soup, so I know this would be soooo good! Nice to have on a chilly winter day!
This sounds really good. I love cauliflower but usually mix it with cheese or if I’m in a “healthier” mode I use instead of potatoes. My family isn’r too crazy about it tho. I will definitely try this recipe as I’m always looking for hearty soups during the winter.
