Delicious! I used 1 part extra mature cheddar and 1 part gouda.
Can this soup be frozen after cooked?
Thanks!
I though this was a all in one machine, so far not happy. should not have so much prep.
So complicated?
This recipe sounds yummy but I would LOVE to see more recipes that you can make in the blender itself using the soup cycle such as the tortilla or broccoli cheddar soup that you have on your site. I just bought my blender and I am loving it. Please give us more recipes that allow us to use this awesome blender to its fullest ability. This blender rocks!!
I used chicken stock and heavy whipping cream. Wonderful soup
Yes, you can!
lactose intolerant (not enough cheese to matter) so can I use Almond Milk instead?
Thank you for your honest reply to the jerk.
Well I’m sure you could throw all the ingredients into the blender and it will make something. Just wouldnt taste like what the recipe intends. It is just a blender after all, not magic.
This recipe is not complicated if You have ever cooked for at least a day…. :)
I agree! One of the perks of the blender is to be able to throw in a bunch of ingredients and cook soup. I can cook ANY other soup on the stovetop and then puree with a crappy blender, food processor, or immersion blender. I’d like to have recipes that actually utilize the soup cycle and don’t involve cooking on the stovetop.
Well, more complicated than opening a can, yes. Quality in/quality out.
Would love for you to share your egg noodle recipe
Anything worth cooking, takes time…..I use my blender for smoothies and it is amazing, or making applesauce, whipped up my egg noodle dough for my homemade lasagna noodles, it worked beautifully…looking forward to trying more recipes and this cauliflower soup.
Yes, you can!
can you use frozen cauliflower florets?
I agree. I used half and half on my first try and it worked out just great. The soup seems to have a lot of room for improvising and I think a touch of white wine or sherry would be good. We had some left over roast chicken so added that at the last minute [after blending] and had a full meal with a salad.
One could actually puree the chicken too, as I do with the blendtec recipe for tortilla soup. I am addicted to that one!
nnorman, you have good taste, I also like your idea of adding chicken, thanks!
Excellent recipe. Easy to prepare and delicious. I added white sharp cheddar and chives for garnish. Also made garlic and cheddars toast on the side.
Just purchased my blendtec a month ago and I am soooo Loving this blender just making this recipe @ the moment Looking forward to more amazing recipes and I agree it would awesome to see some that can be made in the blender with the soup feature.☺
I purchased this machine to make soups without having to do any cooking preparation. I would also like to see more recepies that would meet this function.
I have made this recipe a few years ago and it delicious. Although my recipe I added a carrot. What I did was I just threw everything into one big stock pot start to boil till it was tender and transferred it to my Blendtec. Adding cooked chicken at the very end is a great idea nnorman. You can also keep the base soup and add a different ingredient everyday and make everyday a different version. ;)
We subbed brocolli for Califlower since we had a ton in our freezer from the garden- it was delish! Soup is bland though- added garlic and paprika for a smidge more flavor. Not as thick as the picture made it look- but overall very good and super easy!
I often find Blendtec recipes rather bland, but this has to be one of the BEST soups we’ve ever made: super tasty and healthy. Yes, it does take a bit of extra work, but every minute was worth it. Thank you Blendtec!!
I just made this and it was delicious! And easy! Will make it again
This recipe was really good! I added/substituted almond milk, frozen cauliflower florets, 2oz of jalapeño cheddar cheese and minced garlic. We will definitely be having this again!
Soup was excellent… only deviations was whole milk and a teaspoon of adobo.
I rarely pre-cook ingredients. Everything has come out great.
I have made many of their soups without cooking first and they come out fine using the soup button. I still like to either cook or microwave a little bit of reserved veggies and put in the the hot soup for just a little extra substance.
good low carb recipe! Will replace the water with cream !
No blender required. Blender actually just makes this recipe a pain in the butt. Ditch the water, use whole milk. Don’t add cauliflower until last 15 minutes of a 45 minute simmer. Soup tastes fantastic.
