Cauliflower Potato Cheese Soup
Winter in Hawai’i is not chilly, but that doesn’t mean I don’t crave a good hearty soup. This soup is loaded with vegetables so not to worry. It is filly, comforting, and very tasty.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a large pot with the heat on medium, cook the pancetta until crispy, remove onto a plate and set aside.
- Add onions and cook until slightly golden. Stir periodically.
- Add cauliflower, potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, parsley and stir.
- Add milk and cream, turn heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring periodically so the potatoes don’t stick.
- Test the doneness of a few potatoes and cauliflower pieces, you want it to be very soft.
- Using a potato masher, mash the vegetables until most are mashed. I like it textured but if you like it smooth then you can use an emersion blender and blend until smooth.
- Add cheese and cook for 2 minutes to melt.
- Spoon into bowls and top with scallions and pancetta.
Notes
If you want to make this even healthier you can use Japanese sweet potatoes. Other ideas are to top with bacon instead of pancetta or to use a 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese in addition to the cheddar. If you want it a little lighter you can use 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock.
