This Cauliflower Chowder Recipe Is Perfect For Crisp Fall Nights

Fall is here and you know what that means — it’s soup season! From hearty vegetable beef stew to savory Italian wedding soup, this is the season where anything served in a bowl is bound to delicious. If you’re looking for a dinner idea one night this fall, consider making this cauliflower chowder your new go-to comfort food.

Thanks to its tasty versatility, cauliflower has become the trendiest vegetable in the garden — and it’s full of nutritional goodness! Perfect for a low-carb or carb-conscious diet, cauliflower is packed with vitamins C, K, B6 and folate, as well as phytonutrients (compounds that may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cancer). Besides being good for you, cauliflower also tastes amazing in all its many forms (except boiled — ewwwww), and is a healthier swap for potato-based soups.

This delicious cauliflower chowder recipe from the blog Damn Delicious is filled with creamy, hearty flavor without the carbs. The chowder is chock full of cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Top this bowl of goodness with a sprinkle of bacon for a satisfying crunch in every bite!
