Keep warm today with this Roasted Red Pepper Cauliflower Soup! This soup is so rich and creamy, you would never know that it only has around 300 calories per serving, Yes!
This has to be one of my favorite soups. It’s perfect on this chilly winter day. It was only 36 degrees this morning when I woke up, brrr! I know I shouldn’t complain because I had talked to my dad on the phone last night (he lives in Minnesota where I’m originally from) and he said the temps in Minnesota today would be well below zero. Yikes, I do not miss those temperatures at all!
I hope you are all staying warm today inside. So get out those fuzzy slippers and make a nice hot bowl of this soup today! That’s what I’ll be doing.
This soup is also super easy to make. Just simply slice up some Red Peppers, chop a whole head of Cauliflower removing the stems, chop up a small Sweet Onion, and peel 4 cloves of Garlic.
Then add everything to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, this will make for easy clean up.
Next drizzle Olive Oil evenly over everything, then sprinkle on the seasonings.
Bake for about 40 minutes at 450 degrees until everything is roasted nicely.
When you take this out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes before putting everything in your blender.
So when it’s slightly cooled, go ahead and add the Cauliflower mixture to your blender.
Note: if you want chunkier soup, set aside a cup of the roasted Cauliflower and add it in to your soup pot with the blended mix at the end. I personally like mine a little chunky, so this is what I do.
Then add the Coconut Milk and the Parmesan Cheese to the blender with the Cauliflower mix. Blend on high 1 – 2 minutes until soup is pureed.
Pour your soup into a medium saucepan, add the chunks of Cauliflower, and heat on med-high heat for 1 – 2 minutes.
See, it’s easy!
Here’s what I love about this soup:
- It’s super easy to make, just chop, bake, and blend!
- It’s rich and creamy and leaves you feeling full.
- It only has around 300 calories per serving, so it’s guilt free!
