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.

How to Make Loaded Cauliflower Soup
This is just a quick overview of how to make roasted cauliflower soup. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Start by roasting your cauliflower…
Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to a large pot with chicken broth and fresh thyme. Simmer and then remove from heat.
TIP: For a thicker soup, use less chicken broth; for a thinner soup, add more chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
Then add heavy whipping cream, butter, and salt and pepper to taste.

TIP: If you want this soup to be higher in fat without increasing the carb count, you can add more butter.
Using an immersion blender (my preferred method!) or regular blender, puree the soup until it is your desired texture.
Garnish each bowl with bacon and enjoy!

Creamy and delicious, just like it looks!
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.
Can you freeze this soup?
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.
