Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This 21 Day Fix Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup is a low carb version of my favorite – but nobody in my house can tell!  Perfect for a cold day and made even easier in the Instant Pot. This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.

I almost waited another week to share this one…

21 Day Fix Loaded Potato Cauliflower Soup| Confessions of a Fit Foodie

I know, I know.

Another soup recipe.

Am I boring you?  I sure hope not.

After this one, I will change it up a bit.  I promise.

Until then, my fellow soup lovers – rejoice!  A creamy and delicious fix approved potato soup to get you through the last of the winter weeks ahead.

cauliflower and potato soup

This recipe is adapted from Clean Eating Magazine and I was super excited (I swear, no pun) with how it came out. I have been searching for a loaded potato soup that is dairy free and gluten free and this one is both, but you would never know it. If you are a regular reader you know my son is on a restricted diet, but he loves soup and I hate making things I can’t share with him.

Despite the fact that this is chock full of healthy cauliflower and has a slightly greenish tint from the leeks, my son ate it right up and it was a hit with everyone else, too.  I kept his dairy free,  but my husband and I topped ours with shredded cheddar, turkey bacon, and scallions.

Oh my word.

You could even add some cheese right to into the pot itself if you wanted and melt it into the soup.  Just be sure to calculate it for the FIX.

This recipe is now updated for the Instant Pot!  Woohoo!

Description

This 21 Day Fix Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup is a low carb version of my favorite – but nobody in my house can tell!  Perfect for a cold day and made even easier in the Instant Pot. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp butter (or 2 tsp of oil)
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced leeks (I used more white than green to keep the soup white)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups of Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 1/2 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper, plus additional to taste
  • 12 slices (or 1 package) of all-natural, nitrite-free turkey bacon cooked and diced
  • shredded cheddar cheese (omit for dairy free)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • optional – 1/3 cup of coconut milk

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat oil on medium-low. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add potato, cauliflower, broth, and pepper and increase heat to bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender. Remove from heat. With an immersion blender, purée soup until smooth.(Alternatively, you can use a regular blender and puree in batches…just be really careful). Add coconut milk if desired. Place saucepan on low and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, or add water to thin, if necessary. Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with 1/2 blue of cheese, 2 slices of crumbled turkey bacon and scallions.
  2. Instant Pot directions: Set IP to saute and spray with cooking oil spray. Brown diced bacon, then remove from pot. Add in olive oil and butter, then saute the leeks and garlic. Add in cauliflower, potatoes, salt and stock. Set for 10 minutes. After cook time is over, do a quick release. Use an immersion blender to puree soup. Add in coconut milk, if desired, then top with cheese, bacon, and whatever herbs you want!

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 GREEN, 1 YELLOW, 1/2 RED (bacon), 1/2 BLUE (cheese)

WW Blue Plan: 8 points per serving (using reduced fat cheddar and omitting coconut milk)

**Note – this should make 6 cups. If it feels like less, just use some water or broth to thin it out. It thickens up quite a bit.

    This was OUTSTANDING! My six year old and four year old LOVED it — we were literally all calling dibs on left overs for lunch tomorrow. This is one of our favorite that we have tried from your blog. Thank you!

    How much bacon? If there are 6 servings of soup and 1/2 red per serving do I need 12 slices of turkey bacon?

      Yes, or you can change the red count if you need to!

    I made this tonight. Delicious! It says that the recipe makes 6 cups. I got closer to 9 cups. I divided it into 8-1 cup containers(and taste tested the remainder ?) but now I’m thinking that my container counts will be off. I didn’t use leeks because there weren’t any at the store I went to. I used regular onion. Should I have just divided it evenly into 6 containers?

      If you used the same amount of ingredients, I think you can divide into 6 containers and keep the same count! So glad you liked it!

      I haven’t tried it, but if I was going to, I would saute the leeks and garlic, then add them to the crock pot with all the other ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Follow the blending and finishing steps from the stovetop directions!

    I really, really loved this! Beautifully smooth and totally satisfying without breaking the calorie bank.
    Personal preference…although I love coconut milk, I think I’ll leave it out the next time. Without it, it totally reminds me of my mother’s potato soup, one of my favorites.

    My anti-vegetable son even liked this (my husband did too until he became suspicious about the cauliflower – ugh). This is a great, healthy soup – LOVED it

    This was so good! Even my 18 month old (who is a very picky eater) ate his entire bowl! You can’t even tell that there’s cauliflower in it. I will 100% make this again!

    This was a super quick, filling and delicious dinner for myself and my two kiddos, who also loved it. Thank you for your time and recipe! I will be adding this into my dinner rotation regularly. Make everything in my NINJA FOODI in one pot and it fed us three, with enough leftovers for 4 more servings.

      You can, it will just be thinner. You can totally just skip the milk and it will still be great!
