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.

  • 20 oz pkg. Green Giant Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp. butter, unsalted
  • ⅓ cup onion, chopped fine
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, chopped fine
  • 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 2 tbsp. scallions, chopped small
Instructions
  1. Take Green Giant Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower and place 2 slits in the plastic, microwave for 7 minutes, carefully lift plastic, stir and cook for another 3 minutes. Let it sit for 1 minute.
  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. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cooked Green Giant Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Cauliflower. Once it starts to boil, turn off heat and let it rest for 5 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.

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.

Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.

Howdy! Time sure flies when your on vacation. I ca Howdy! Time sure flies when your on vacation. I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. I would like to freeze time this week so I can get some stuff done. There’s just not enough time in the day.
🌲
I’m sharing with you my last room that has Christmas still left in it. I’ll probably change it up later this week or next. I’m really trying to focus on my kitchen and living room.
