Slow Cooker Creamy Cauliflower Broccoli Soup

So it’s January. And for many of us that means healthy recipes. My personal New Year’s Resolution is to eat vegetables with every meal. So far it’s going pretty well. I love goals that are framed in a positive format such as “eat vegetables with every meal” instead of “cut out sugar.” It helps me so much to have a positive spin on my goals instead of the “you can’t have that” types of resolutions.

So if you’re like me and trying to eat a lot more vegetables you’ll love this recipe. It’s like a creamy broccoli cheese soup but instead of flour, butter, cream and cheese as the base of the soup it’s a cooked and pureed cauliflower base. There is a bit of Parmesan cheese and a quarter cup of cream in the soup but that little bit goes a long way for flavor. My family (kind of surprisingly) loved this soup. I didn’t know what they’d think about pureed cauliflower but they loved it. My husband took the leftovers to work the next day, which I was sort of sad about since I wanted to eat them for lunch ๐Ÿ™‚

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

For this Slow Cooker Creamy Cauliflower Broccoli Soupย I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker. I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that Iโ€™ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If youโ€™re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

    Every meal…even breakfast? I don’t know if I could manage that one! (Though I guess I have put lettuce or spinach on egg sandwiches.) This looks like a lighter alternative to most cream soups–I’ll have to give it a try! Pinned ๐Ÿ™‚

      yes, I’ve been having spinach in my smoothies or in my eggs. I’m feeling so happy about this resolution!
