This delicious Roasted Keto Cauliflower Soup with Bacon is oh-so-creamy, comforting, and flavorful thanks to ingredients like butter, heavy whipping cream, and perfectly roasted cauliflower. It’s a true keto comfort food!

This soup is comfort in a bowl. 🥣 In just about 45 minutes, you’ll have a piping hot bowl of deliciously velvety, flavorful, and healthy soup ready to enjoy. Comfy chair, fuzzy blanket, and a good book optional, but highly recommended.

I absolutely love the creaminess that roasted cauliflower lends to soups. If this weren’t a keto soup recipe, the cauliflower alone would be enough to make it a creamy soup, but on keto, we get to amp up the creaminess with butter and heavy whipping cream. Yum! Add some chicken Keto Broth for flavor and top with crumbled bacon for total soup bliss.

    I made Keto cauliflower soup this past weekend. I highly recommend this soup. It is creamy and filling and perfect for the cold weather that we are having. My wife and I loved the cauliflower soup and will be making it again. It is an easy recipe to follow.

    Keto Cauliflower Soup makes a great meal. It is so creamy and filling. I reduced the amount of chicken broth to 3 3/4 cups for the thicker version of the soup. I will be making this cauliflower soup often because it is so good.

    • Hi Sherry! Yes, this soup can be frozen. There might be a tiny texture change upon reheating it because it includes dairy (although not much), but it will still taste great.
