Why I love this sweet potato cauliflower soup
There isn’t much I like more than a big bowl of creamy soup – or a big bowl of any soup for that matter. Creamy soup is especially satisfying, but it’s hard to do when you’re on a “diet” or if dairy isn’t a choice for you. So when I saw this recipe for creamy sweet potato and cauliflower soup, I knew I had to try it.
The sweetness of the sweet potatoes really balances the cauliflower, making it taste almost like a baked potato soup, especially when you top it with some traditional baked potato toppings like chives (or green onion) and bacon. I topped mine with cheese, but if you’re going dairy free, you can pick up some dairy-free cheese shreds as a substitute.
This sweet potato and cauliflower soup is great starter for a meal, but it’s also a really, really great lunch. It’s warm and satisfying and it’s great for reheating in the microwave throughout the week. It can also easily be made in the crockpot. I’m actually thinking about making another batch tomorrow because it’s just that good.
