Cauliflower soup twist

So I made a cauliflower soup the other day, but I knew I would think it was bland on its own so I kicked it up a notch and it was fantastic and insanely low in calories, 57 per cup serving.

Here is the initial recipe: http://www.yummyhealthyeasy.com/2015/02/cauliflower-soup.html#_a5y_p=3398595

Before blending, I added cumin, diced jalapeños. Then after blending, I added Red beans.

Fabulous soup.

    I love soup and I'd definitely have to spice it up like you did, particularly since I have a nice crop of jalapenos and onions from my garden right now. Thanks!

    I made gumbo the other day and used cauliflower rice instead of real rice. It was great. Even my husband didn't complain.

    I'm looking forward to doing this myself!

    This is a keeper (except for the garlic). I may also spice it up maybe with a can of rotell and I may also throw some diced chicken after blending for more protein. Thank you for sharing.

    Where do you get the cauliflower rice? I would like to try it and see how my husband and I like it.

    I made it myself by just putting cauliflower in the food processor.

    Oh dear, I was hopping to find a package at a supermarket because I don't have a food processor. I am not inclined to get one either since my cooking is quite simple. Thanks for the information and kudos to you for doing that.

    Oh I use my food processor daily! Veggies, beans, whatever. However, I am a vegetarian living in a third world country so am forced to make a lot of my own food now lol.

    Instead of adding broth just throw it in the blender, add butter and make "mashed potatoes". Soooo good and you don't even taste the difference.

    @Gisel2015, I grate cauliflower with an old fashioned box grater, then I saute it and season how I like. I often grate the entire head at a time, and either store it in the fridge or freeze it.

    @Queenmunchy and @crazyravr

    Thanks for the tips peeps!

    I do mashed cauliflower all the time instead of mashed potatoes. My husband and I like it very much and sometimes I add shredded cheese, any kind, to give it a different flavor.
