Healthy Cauliflower Soup Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep – Cook the soup and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids). 
Frozen Soup – Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the soup will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room. 
Refrigerated Soup – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days.
Reheating – Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low, or defrosted soup for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat.

Ingredients
 
 

Low Calorie Soup Recipe:

  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour all-purpose or gluten-free
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower chopped
  • 2 medium yellow onions chopped
  • 4 cups broth chicken or vegetable
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Sliced green onions
  • Cooked and crumbled bacon

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter on low heat.
  • Add the flour and stir about 2-5 minutes until a lightly browned paste forms.
  • Add the broth, onions and cauliflower and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Mix well, reduce to over medium-low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth (or cool, move to a blender and blend until smooth).

Notes

How to Blend Soups:

  • Immersion Blender… This handy blender will become one of your favorite kitchen items. If you don’t already have one, I do recommend investing in one. They’re low cost, and don’t take up a lot of room.
  • Countertop Blender… You can use a countertop blender in place of an immersion blender. But I warn you, you must cool the soup first, and or vent the blender. If you don’t, the pressure will build up, and you could have cauliflower soup exploded all over your kitchen. It’s a mess I can tell you firsthand is a pain to clean up.
  • Potato Masher… A potato masher won’t get this soup recipe completely smooth. But it is quite delicious even when it is a little bit chunky. Remove the cooked veggies from the liquid, and mash with a potato masher. Then add back and mix well.

    Audrey, You knocked this one out of the park.
    I made it as written, but also added some Italian seasoning, celery, a chopped carrot, and some unsweetened almond milk (at the end). I then served it with 0% Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. So Good. Will definitely make this again.
