Embrace soup season with this healthy Paleo Cauliflower Potato Soup!
As much as I love summer and I’m sad to see it go, I’m doing my best to embrace soup season. I know people absolutely love fall and to be honest, I’ve never been one of them.
But this year I’m determined to change all that!
I’m embracing all things cozy: sweaters, cute boots, fall scented essential oils, pumpkin picking with my kids and ALL the cauliflower potato soup for dinner.
Why you will love this paleo cauliflower potato soup:
Which is actually great, because who knew cauliflower potato soup was so freaking easy to make?
I don’t know why I don’t make it more often. It requires one pot and my blender or immersion blender (I prefer this for a chunkier, heartier soup). You just let it simmer on the stove and it requires very little work overall.
This paleo cauliflower potato soup recipe, while incredibly healthy, also feels pretty decadent. It’s rich and creamy and topped with bacon – which many people think is going to kill them. In reality, when it’s well-sourced and organic, it is quite healthy. You can read the article I wrote on how bacon is healthy HERE. You’re welcome America!
This is a great way to sneak veggies into your kid’s diet. My boys gobbled this up (husband included).
Health Benefits of this easy Paleo Cauliflower Soup:
Cauliflower:
Cauliflower is loaded with micronutrients and has anti-carcinogenic benefits. It also contains a lot of fiber which aids weight loss and digestion, choline that is essential for learning and memory, and many other nutrients
Bone Broth:
Bone broth is rich in minerals as well as collagen, the most abundant protein in the body.
Our hairs, skin, nails, bones, joints, etc. are all made up of collagen – as is the gut lining.
Because of this, bone broth strengthens our skin, hair, joints, and bone as well as heals and seals the gut lining. It’s a food we should all be consuming more of! Plus it makes the soup taste so much richer. Here’s how I make my own bone broth.
Can I make this paleo soup keto / low carb?
If you’d like to make this cauliflower potato soup recipe extremely low carb or keto, just omit the potato and add more cauliflower instead.
The best toppings for Paleo Potato Soup:
- bacon bits
- chopped chives
- grated dairy-free cheese
- toasted nuts or seeds
- coconut cream
- sliced scallions
- chopped dried cranberries (sugar-free)
- fried onions
Tips for making this Paleo Cauliflower Potato Soup:
- If you are aiming for super-smooth cauliflower soup, keep blending away. Actually, I recommend a Vitamix if you have one. It will get the job done quickly.
- Want a chunkier more rustic potato soup? Use a slotted spoon to remove some of the potato and cauliflower pieces before you blend the rest of the soup. Then, after the paleo potato soup is blended to your liking, add the reserved veggies back in.
- For a thinner soup, add more bone broth or up to a cup of coconut milk.
- If you are a lover of bacon, fry the bacon before starting with the soup and reserve the bacon fat. Then use the bacon fat for sauteeing your veggies instead of the olive oil.
