Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Chowder

When the weather gets cold, we love soup for dinner. This cauliflower soup is lovely, as I am a huge cauliflower fan, especially in my soups! It’s creamy like a chowder, without potatoes and cream. A few other chowders you may like, Seattle Smoked Salmon Chowder or this Cheddar Corn Chowder with Bacon.

I’m so excited to share this recipe from my friend Maria’s cookbook, The Two Peas in a Pod Cookbook. Her cookbook is beautiful, filled with recipes she, her husband and two boys enjoy. The book has tons of salads and vegetarian options as well as meat dishes. She even has an entire chapter on cookies! Maria lives in Salt Lake City, where they get a lot of snow. So naturally, Maria makes lots of soup for her family, especially after they get off the slopes. I adapted her recipe slightly by reducing the butter a bit, but otherwise kept everything else the same. This soup super rich in flavor, wonderfully cheesy and low in carbs. If you want to make the soup a little thicker, you can puree some of it in the blender, and add it back to the soup.
