Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium pot, combine 2 cups of chicken broth and finely chopped cauliflower. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (Approximately 2 minutes)

02

Step

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the cauliflower is tender. (Approximately 20 minutes)

03

Step

While the cauliflower simmers, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and diced jalapenos. Saute until the onions become translucent. (Approximately 5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess grease. (Approximately 6 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully transfer the cooked cauliflower and broth to a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy.

06

Step

Pour the pureed cauliflower mixture back into the pot. Add the cubed cream cheese and the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth. (Approximately 3 minutes)

07

Step

Add the browned ground beef mixture, diced tomatoes, and ground paprika to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

08

Step

Continue to cook and stir the soup until the flavors have melded together and the soup is heated through. (Approximately 5 minutes)

09

Step

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired.

For a spicier kick, consider using hot diced tomatoes or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
To make this soup even richer, use full-fat cream cheese.
If you don't have a blender, you can use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the cauliflower. Be careful to avoid splashing!
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
