Cream of Cauliflower Soup with Philadelphia cream cheese
Cream of Cauliflower Soup

I like to save myself some cooking time during the week and make this creamy cauliflower soup at the same time while I make my cauliflower bake as both recipes use pretty much same ingredients. If you decide to do the same, start with the cauliflower bake and put it to the oven first. While the cauliflower bake is sizzling in the oven make the soup.

Now, you have two options either you can cook the soup from scratch using raw ingredients and follow the exact method above or you can use a small shortcut and cook cauliflower and 2 potatoes for the soup with the cauliflower and potatoes for the bake. In that case, instead of raw ingredients you’ll be using already cooked potatoes and cauliflower in the soup recipe.

In this scenario, you have an opportunity to reuse boiled cauliflower water instead of pouring it away and you can shorten the boiling time to just 5 – 10 minutes just to cook the flour and let the bay leaf releases its flavour.

Except for these few small changes you can follow the method above.
