Instant pot Keto Cauliflower Soup is a creamy, filling, delicious and low carb soup that you'll crave in cold months. You'll love how easy it is to make this comfort food staple.
INSTANT POT CAULIFLOWER SOUP
On cold days, there is often nothing better than a warm and comforting bowl of keto soup.
I love using the instant pot to make soups. The pressure cooker allows you to make a dish that tastes like you cooked it all day, in just a few minutes.
I also love using cauliflower in Keto recipes. Like in our Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, Cauliflower adds bulk to cauliflower keto soup and is a great substitution for starchy potatoes.
Keto Cauliflower Soup made in your Instant Pot is ready to eat in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
You'll top your Instant Pot Keto Cauliflower soup with crispy bacon, creamy shredded cheese, and fresh green onions for extra flavor and texture.
INGREDIENTS IN INSTANT POT KETO CAULIFLOWER SOUP
Bacon - top each bowl of this soup with crispy, salty bacon bits.
Yellow Onion - I like yellow onions for bold flavor in cooked dishes, but a white onion would work well here too.
Garlic - Onion and garlic create a savory base for this soup.
Cauliflower - The star of the soup, cauliflower adds bulk and thickness.
Stock - Either chicken stock or vegetable stock works for this soup.
Salt - Seasoning the soup well is important to the final flavor.
Pepper - For just a hint of heat.
Heavy Cream - A creamy soup needs heavy cream for a silky texture.
Cheddar Cheese - Shred your cheese to add to the soup before serving.
Scallions - Use the green and white parts to create another topping for the cauliflower soup.

CAN I MAKE CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITHOUT A BLENDER?
If you don't have a blender available, don't worry! You can make this recipe, but it will be more chunky and less smooth. Use a potato masher to break up the cauliflower florets after cooking them in the Instant Pot.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH KETO CAULIFLOWER CHEESE SOUP
I enjoy a bowl of this cauliflower keto soup all on its own, but have served it with rolls for an even more filling and satisfying meal.
Try our recipe for Keto Rolls and your family will eat them right up, dipping them in the soup.
Something sweet, like our Keto Peanut Butter Fudge would be an amazing treat after your soup is gone too.
IS CAULIFLOWER SOUP KETO?
Like many keto recipes, cauliflower here replaces starchy potatoes to create a creamy and delicious keto soup. Each serving of this recipe has 10 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of fiber, ending in 5 grams net carbs per serving.
Enjoy keto cauliflower soup as your lunch or dinner any day while following a keto diet, it fits.
CAN I REHEAT KETO CAULIFLOWER CHEESE SOUP?
I suggest serving this soup immediately after cooking for best results, but if needed you can cool and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat on the stove at low heat and serve with toppings.
