Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup

Hi Everyone,

It is that time of year where we are getting so busy with the holidays, closing out end of the year at the day job and to top it off, it is cold outside!  I really hate the cold.  Can you believe I am from Buffalo, NY?  Now living in California I still complain about the cold.  I guess I should be grateful that it is in the 40’s & 50’s.  Anyway, to warm you inside and out I have for you today, a super quick weeknight meal that will take minutes to make and not make you feel guilty at all.  It is Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup.

Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup


This soup is so good!  It is rich, creamy, has a hint of heat from the jalapeno and you get little bits of bacon.  You have to love the bacon bits.  The soup has a light cheddar cheese flavor.  I debated about adding more cheese, but this soup has just the right amount without being too overbearing.  The cauliflower has such a nice subtle flavor, you don’t even realize you are having cauliflower.  This is such a great swap for potato soup.  Plus, this soup is very filling.

Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup

The making of this soup is so easy!  You won’t believe how simple it is.  It takes from start to finish about 12 minutes to make.  That’s it!  You will have hearty, warm, tasty soup in a matter of minutes.  Can you believe that?  How did I do it?  With new Veggie Swap-Ins from Green Giant®.  These products will swap in veggies, like Cauliflower Veggie Tots for potato tots, or Riced Cauliflower for regular rice.  For today’s recipe, I used Green Giant® Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower in place of potatoes.

Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup

When I saw this product at my local grocery store I was so excited to try it.  I love cauliflower and I don’t cook it nearly enough.  My Husband oddly enough craves cauliflower with cheese.  I just knew that making this soup would be the perfect meal for me and my family.  I was right, the only problem is I didn’t make a double batch.  I bought a few packages of the Green Giant® Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower for future use and I can tell you that I will be making this soup again soon.  Plus, making the Green Giant® Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower in the microwave makes for a quick side dish too.  It is a perfect complement to any meal.

Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup

To make the soup, I cooked the Green Giant® Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower in the microwave.  I just followed the directions on the package.  While that was cooking, I started the base of my soup.  In a large sauce pan I added butter, onions and jalapeno.  I cooked until it was transparent in color.  Then I added some chicken broth, brought it to a boil, then added my Green Giant® Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower.  I let it come to a simmer and turned off the heat on the stove.  I let it sit for 5 minutes and I had this thick, delicious soup.  I didn’t feel the need to add any additional flavors since it is full of flavor.

For a little added color, I topped the soup with some chopped scallions and a couple of jalapenos for presentation.  Like I said before, I debated about adding additional cheese on the soup, but I truly feel that the flavor and creaminess of the soup was just perfect as it was.  If you are a cheese lover, add more cheese.

Jalapeno Cheddar & Bacon Cauliflower Soup

Yum, I am just loving this soup.  It is perfect for a weeknight meal, a quick-lunch or even serving it as an appetizer at a family gathering.  The soup is quite elegant and no one would know it wasn’t made from scratch.

To find out more about Green Giant® Veggie Swap-In’s, you can visit their website here.

I also have a link to get a coupon, so you can try New Green Giant™ Veggie Tots, Green Giant® Riced Veggies or Green Giant® Mashed Cauliflower.  You can go here for a coupon.

I had a lot of fun with today’s recipe.  Swap In’s are such a great idea to cut out carbs in standard dishes.  Have you tried cauliflower pizza crust?  It’s a great idea and so good, just saying, try it with Riced Veggies.  I think I’ll share that recipe with you soon.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I can’t wait to try this. My mouth started salivating by seeing this only. soup is my favorite and anytime you give soup I will be ready to have without any limit. And this is kind of different flavor I guess. Because I saw some extra ingredients in the recipe. So I’m definitely going to try this soon and will definitely let you know, how it turned out.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
