Awesome soup. Made it twice this week. I just started a keto lifestyle and this fits into it perfectly. Very easy to make and enjoyable to eat. I did put my own addition and added fresh scallions when I added the bacon and cheese. Now I feel like I’m eating baked potato soup but better. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Do you have to make the soup smooth with a blender or can I leave as is?
Hi Stephanie,
Blending helps mix the flavors together, but if you prefer not to blend it, you can give it a try!
I tried this recipe this afternoon, and of course I spilled most of it all over my kitchen, but what was left was very tasty. I will try again, but I have a question, my soup was more the consistency of tapioca pudding (that’s all I can think of). I would like it to be totally creamy, no bits or pcs at all. Do you think I could puree the cauliflower in my food processor before I add it to the other ingredients.
Hi Penelope,
It sounds like your soup wasn’t blended enough, the immersion blender should make it creamy with no lumps.
This soup is delicious! My only minor complaint were some of the measurements in the recipe – I’d rather have it say “2 tablespoons of butter” and “one cup of chopped bacon” rather than the ounce unit of measurements for these ingredients, but a quick Google search remedied the issue. 12/10 will make again, this has been bookmarked for future reference and I will definitely share it with friends. Thank you!
Hi Caroline,
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Due to the differences in cup and spoon sizes between imperial and metric, we prefer to use grams and ounces in our recipes to ensure that no matter where our readers are, the recipe will always turn out. In recipes where the measurements don’t make a huge difference, we always use the cup/spoon measurements. I hope that helps 🙂
Love this!! Do you think it would freeze ok?
Hi Anthea,
Yes, it will last in the freezer for up to 3 months 🙂
What a delicious creamy soup. Will certainly be making it again as it is winter here and what better than a cup of soup to warm you up. Thought it may have been too creamy for me, but no, made exactly to the recipe. Husband loved it as well and he’s not on Keto!
