Freezer Meal-Cheesy Cauliflower Soup
This Freezer Meal-Cheesy Cauliflower Soup recipe is delicious on a cool fall evening. Now that school is back in session it is time to stock the freezer with easy freezer meals for those busy school nights.
It has been a while since I shared a freezer meal recipe. I actually took the photos for this Freezer Meal Cheesy Cauliflower Soup recipe over a year ago. I can't believe it. I've made this delicious cheesy cauliflower soup recipe so many times in the past year.
Besides the fact that it is a low carb option for someone who is following a low carb or Paleo diet it is one of the best soup recipes I make.
Cheesy Cauliflower Soup is one of my favorite cauliflower recipes. It is one of those rich creamy soup recipes that is very filling and so satisfying because cauliflower is packed full of fiber.
I love cauliflower and eat it as much as possible. I will throw some cauliflower florets into many of my homemade soup recipes if I happen to have a head of cauliflower in the fridge.
