Instant Pot Cauliflower Soup

The great thing about Cauliflower Soup, well, there a couple of great things, is that Cauliflower generally takes on whatever flavors you cook it with.

This is awesome because Cauliflower is super healthy for you and, when prepared properly, delicious!

So, this Cauliflower super is really easy to customize any way that you’d like! We’ll give you the recipe, but it’s really easy to tweak things here and there to make it perfect for you and your family! You can mostly do this with the topping suggestions that I’ve mentioned below.
But you can also change some of the ingredients as well! Read below for more info on this!

A Super Healthy Soup!

And it’s all so healthy! It has tons of vitamins and is loaded with fiber. And it’s a great source of antioxidants! This Instant Pot Cauliflower Soup is also Gluten Free and Keto-Friendly!

And, while our version is made with Chicken Stock, you can easily substitute vegetable stock to make this a delicious vegetarian dish!

How To Make Instant Pot Cauliflower Soup

So, what do you need? Wholesome, authentic and homemade ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped (about 2-1/2 lbs)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 brick, 8 oz, cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped green onions, optional for serving.

Notes, Tips and Suggestions

Yes, you can use frozen cauliflower if needed. But fresh is better! Our version of this cauliflower soup is pretty thick, almost like chowder. That’s how we like it. If you want to make it a little thinner, you can increase the broth to 3-4 cups.

As mentioned above, if you are looking for a vegetarian friendly soup, simply sub the chicken broth for vegetable broth.

And, finally, as with any soup, add salt to taste! Having the right amount of salt in this cauliflower soup is key!

Other Topping Suggestions

  • Any shredded cheese-  Of course Cheddar is awesome, but Swiss Cheese would be delicious too. Or Pepper Jack Cheese to give it a little kick!
  • Bacon- Ummm… Yep. Bacon!
  • Pulled Pork- Got some leftover BBQ? Put it on top of this soup for a delicious flavor combo!
  • Green Onions-Add a great texture and flavor!
  • Sour Cream-Yum!
  • Sriracha Sauce- Drizzle a little over some sour cream for some serious heat!
  • Crispy Fried Onions- Crispy fried onions are great on everything. Right!?!?!

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Instant Pot Cauliflower Soup! I’d love to know how it worked out for you in the comments section. Thanks for reading!
