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,

The more I cook with cauliflower, the more I crave it.
Stacey @ Bake.Eat.Repeat. says
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!
Melanie says
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!

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.
