Zupas Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup

Me and the hubby usually go on our dates in the afternoons. The boys are both in school and we just have the baby at home with us. And by dates I mean going to Costco and Cafe Zupas. But we love spending time together and our favorite place to grab some lunch is at Zupas. If you live anywhere near a Zupas then I am sure you have been to one and know of its amazingness! From their amazing paninis, to the salads, to the soup, you can’t go wrong. It is incredible! Last year my hubby ordered this Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup. He gave me one bite and I was hooked! This probably isn’t a soup that I would have ordered. Now I order it every single time. My hubby has been wanting to make it at home for some time now. He was so excited that I finally made it. Tasted just like Zupas. It was amazing. I love when you can hide a veggie in a soup and the kids still love it! Creamy and delicious and topped with my favorite toppings.

Wisconsin Cauliflower Ingredients

Simple ingredients that when mixed together create a delectable dish. A delicious and creamy cauliflower soup that tastes identical to Zupas!

Butter: Adds richness and flavor Onion: Chop the onions well so they sauté faster. Flour: This will help to thicken the soup. Half and Half: Half and half gives you all the creaminess with half the fat Water: Helps to thin the soup to the proper consistency, can use less or more depending on your preference. Chicken Broth: You can substitute vegetable or beef broth here, although I’m a fan of the chicken for this soup. Cauliflower: Depending on the size of your heads, you may need more than one head to get your 2 pounds Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Shred your own cheese to avoid the coating on pre shredded cheeses that can prevent melting. Pepper Jack Cheese: I love the little kick the pepper jack adds Salt: The cheese may make it plenty salty already, so taste it before adding. Dijon Mustard: Don’t leave this out, you’ll love the little zing it adds to the flavor

Tips for Great Wisconsin Soup

You can eat in the comfort in your own home, surrounded by friends and family, curled up in a blanket, or in your favorite pair of lounge pants!

Cauliflower: If you can’t find fresh cauliflower you can use frozen. Steam the cauliflower in the microwave according to the package directions and add to the broth. You won’t need to simmer it, just stir it in and then blend it. Texture: Depending on how you like your soup you can leave it a little bit chunky or blend it till super smooth. You can even add in diced potatoes that have been cooked for a little bit more heartiness. Cheese: You experiment with the cheeses, although it’ll give you a bit of a different flavor. Try parmesan or asiago instead of the pepper jack. Sharp white cheddar is also a great cheese to use. Toppings: Top your soup with even more cheese, bacon crumbles, croutons, and green onions.

Storing Cauliflower Soup

Freezer-Because of the heavy dairy in the soup, it won’t freeze well. It’ll separate when you thaw it and won’t be as creamy or nice. Fridge-This will however keep extremely well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm up on the stove top over medium low heat stirring often to avoid curdling.
