Beef and Cauliflower Cheese Soup
A few years ago, my friend, Makayla hosted a pre-Halloween girls night. Of course, it included drinks, Hocus Pocus, and soup. Now I love wine and of course, the Sanderson sisters, but Makayla’s soup was probably a highlight of the night for me. I had to try my hand in recreating it. Enter this recipe for Beef and Cauliflower Cheese Soup.

I know…. I know….
You read the title and was like…
What.
The.
Heck.
Chanda!

Cauliflower?
In a beef soup?
Yes. You heard me right.
There is cauliflower IN this soup!

And it is pure deliciousness.
It was the ingredient that when I first had Makayla’s soup, made me pause and say what is that?
The answer is riced cauliflower!

I had NEVER had riced cauliflower before.
Not that I don’t like cauliflower. I just didn’t ever see the appeal of steamed riced cauliflower.
That was until I had it in this soup, with ground beef, onion, broth, cream, and of course cheddar cheese.
(Those last two listed ingredients prevent me from calling this recipe “healthy”.)
I will call it delicious, with a helping of veggies!

This recipe has become one of my favorite soups of all time.
Fast, simple, and without a doubt a crowd pleaser that even your pickiest eaters will love!
