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.

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.

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.

  • 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 2 tbsp. scallions, chopped small
Instructions

  2. While cooking the Green Giant Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower, in a large sauce pan, melt butter. Add onion and jalapeno pepper and cook until transparent; about 3 minutes.

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.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.

Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
