I made this tonight and it was SO good! It could absolutely double as a cheese sauce for homemade horseshoes (I’ll post a recipe for my homemade horseshoes another time :)) or a sauce for fettuccine. But for tonight, it was soup :). We aren’t typically soup people so my husband was surprised when I brought it out. Andddddd… he liked it, a lot! Yay! I think my kids would even like this but I am in a really bad habit of feeding them earlier than we eat, and they always eat something different than we do. Add that to my long list of things I need to work on improving. I would love all 4 of us eating earlier, together, and eating the SAME thing! I hate to make them a separate dinner from us but my husband and I are in the habit of eating LATE… like sometimes after 10 pm. Plus, I’m not great about pushing my kids to eat things out of their comfort zone. Also adding that to the list of things to improve upon, expanding my children’s palates. Wish me luck! Onto the recipe :):

Cauliflower White Cheddar Soup:

• One head cauliflower chopped into small chunks
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion (peeled and chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (peeled and chopped)
• 2 cups bone broth or any broth you have on hand… I used my homemade chicken bone broth
• 1 can full fat unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)

Add cauliflower, butter, onion, garlic and broth to a slow cooker and cook on high for three hours or until cauliflower is very soft. Shake can of coconut milk very well than open it up and add it in along with the salt and nutmeg. Please note you are wanting a CAN of coconut milk, not the kind you will find in a milk carton. You will find this in the Asian food section of most grocery stores and you want the full fat unsweetened option. A good alternative to this would be a cup of any milk of your choice or even half and half or heavy whipping cream, all depending on how rich you would like your soup. If you have an immersion blender awesome!!! Get it out and blend all of the ingredients together right there in your slow cooker. If you don’t have one… GET ONE… and if that isn’t an option than you will need to transfer to a blender or food processor and puree it until smooth. Return back to crockpot and add in the cheese and white wine. I used a block of white cheddar and grated it myself and it seemed to melt really well that way so I would recommend that. You could use less or more cheese depending on what you like and also add in other types like Parmesan or Gruyere.
