Faux-tato Soup

This post contains affiliate links.

I have been talking about this soup on Twitter and Instagram a lot and finally found the time to blog about it!! I am a huge soup fan, I love to make a big ole pot and eat on it for a few days. I definitely don’t get tired of eating the same thing for a few days as long as it’s super yummy.

I love potato soup but the calories, oh my! I actually got this recipe from a friend and the whole pot is only ~550 calories. You read that right, the whole pot of soup is ~550 calories. I can definitely do that!!

So what’s in it? Let’s talk about it!!

ingredients

Four things! A bag of frozen cauliflower (or a head of fresh, chopped), a bag of Idahoan Four Cheese Potato Flakes, some Onion Powder, and some Voodoo Chicken (Caldo de Pollo, fund in the Mexican Aisle at Walmart). BOOM! Done!

This soup is so easy to make and it is so rich and creamy that you won’t believe it’s made out of cauliflower and that there are so few calories in it.

    What a clever idea! I could eat potato soup any day, but you’re right…it’s so full of calories (especially the way I make it). I’ll have to try this lightened up version. It looks delicious!

    Cauliflower is a great low-carb alternative to potatoes.

    Soup is my FAVORITE! I’m so glad I’m not the only person who makes huge batches of soup so I can eat it throughout a week. Can’t wait to try this recipe <3

    This sounds amazing. Cauliflower purees as replacement for potatoes is one of my favorite substitutes. I will be trying this soup very soon!

    Cauliflower is magical, isn’t it? I’ve used it to replace potatoes in several recipes, and it works great! I’m cracking up at chicken buillon being “voodoo chicken”.

    I agree, potato-based soups are lovely but so heavy and laden with calories. I love cauliflower but have never had it blended in a soup like that. Good recipe — especially that it has so few calories.

    Awesome! I used to do the same thing to make “mashed potatoes”. It’s amazing all the things that cauliflower can emulate.
