Cheese Topped Creamy Cauliflower Soup – Topped with Swiss cheese, this creamy cauliflower soup recipe is easy to follow. Perfect for cozy winter nights. Best soup I’ve eaten in a while.
This soup had me at HELLO. Seriously. It’s the bomb diggity. Who talks like that anymore. That totally wasn’t me. I lost myself in this soup.
Here’s my favorite soup of the week. I have so many favorite soups that I can no longer say ‘Soup of the Month’. Now it’s ‘Soup of the Week’. That’s not a bad thing, right? Well if cauliflower and cheese are bad just call me naughty and I’m ok with that.

Can you believe November is just around the bend? This month went flying so fast that I feel like I should put on my seat belt and hold on to my hat. I actually did lose a hat once because I should have held onto it. Picture this way back in the day:
Amusement park. Signs that read: Remove all glasses and hats. More than 1 sign. This girl thinks she’s the exception to the rule. This girl wears her hurt. This girl gets lost in the moment. Raises her hands. Shrieks as she plummets down the hill. Her father behind catches that same wind. In that brief nanosecond, he probably could have caught her hat but he’s too busy enjoying the thrill himself. The hat is gone. Never to return.
Way back in the day….Um…that way in July. I’m still a child (at heart). Hee-hee.
P.S. I’m in love with soup crocks lately. And I totally want a collection. I’m liking these from Williams Sonoma. What about in yellow or green. And these in red from Sur La Table….Love! I need to get some like soon. Decisions…decisions… I’ll probably end up with boring ole’ white because it goes well with everything. But what do you think?
Love you my friends!
Til we meet and eat again,

I’m still in denial that summer is over! This soup looks amazing, Melanie! I’ve never had cauliflower soup before, so I’m loving the looks of this cheesy goodness. Gorgeous pictures, too!
I can’t get enough of cauliflower and look at that cheesy goodness! Have a great weekend, Melanie!
Love how creamy and cheesy this soup turned. And the soup bowl is so cute, where did you get it from?
Thanks for stopping by Catalina! This particular one I picked up at a yard sale. Lucky find! 🙂
This soup is so cheesy I can’t handle it! This is my kind of way to eat cauliflower. Bomb diggety is right. 🙂 Too funny about your hat!
One of my favorite ways to Ashley. I’m currently in a ‘soup coma’and I have no idea when I’ll be out. 🙂
the only thing that could possibly make me enjoy cauliflower soup more than I already do? top it with CHEESE! love this Mel!
Thanks Christine! Cheese is all that!
The more I cook with cauliflower, the more I crave it.
This looks exactly like the cauliflower soup I wanted a couple weeks ago when I made some cauliflower soup and was totally disappointed! It wasn’t nearly thick or cheesy enough for my liking. This one looks perfect though!
Well, I hope you give it a try and it meets standards! It’s always frustrating to be disappointed but we all have different tastes. We really enjoyed it. Hope you find the time to make it soon.
So glad you stopped by Stacey!
Honestly, I’m a bit obsessed with this idea. Not only did I swoon but I called my husband over to look at the screen and swoon with me. This is totally happening soon!
You’re too sweet Pamela! It certainly was delicious. My 12 year even ate it cold and called it awesome. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I am absolutely smitten over how amazing this soup looks! This would be SO good with warm bread for Sunday dinner!
Thanks Sarah! Your words are too kind. Have a beautiful day!
Oh my goodness that gooey cheese is calling to me! I love cauliflower and cheese; such an amazing combination!

This year has flown by! I don’t know why, but the older I get, the quicker the years seem to go by – is it just me?

Melanie this soup looks fantastic! Loving all that melty cheese. What a perfect soup for the cooler weather we have now. Cauliflower and cheese are a perfect combination! I hope you have a wonderful week. XO

This soup looks amazing, Melanie! Cauliflower is often a forgotten vegetable, but I think it would be fabulous prepared this way! I’d love for you to share this at my Creative Ways Link Party that goes live on Wednesdays at 8pm central. Hope to see you there.

Hahaha I totally say bomb diggity… your usage of the term was perfectly executed. Embrace it. Love it. This soup totally is the bomb diggity!

I love that there are chunks of cauliflower in this soup. And the serving bowl or pot is just too cute!
