This Cheesy Cauliflower Soup recipe is serious comfort food, and as a bonus – it comes with a dose of vegetables! It’s creamy, cheesy, family-friendly, and perfect for cold days when all you want is a hot bowl of something good!

As a working parent, it can sometimes be tough to balance everything. Sometimes, something just has to give. Eating well is one of the things that can often go by the wayside, but the double whammy for that is, if you don’t eat well, you don’t feel well.

Getting a dose of vegetables in my belly as often as possible (and in the yummiest way possible) ALWAYS makes me feel better! Adding cheese just makes it delicious and comforting

I like to make this soup ahead on the weekends (if I can), and it really does help me out during the week. Having a batch of soup in the fridge for a last-minute dinner, or having it all portioned out and ready to go in my lunch bag (especially a healthy one), is awesome!

Why this recipe works:

• SPEED – it is easy, quick and freezes well.
• INGREDIENTS – it uses very commonly found ingredients.
• VERSATILE – this is a great recipe to make it ahead, or make it the day you need it.
• DIET – it’s vegetarian!
