Welcome winter with a creamy bowl of Slow Cooker Loaded Cauliflower Soup! It’s a low carb, hearty and wonderfully cheesy soup, perfect for weeknight meal!

Winters at our house are pretty busy.

Life with three kiddos never seems to slow down. There are always basketball games, dance lessons, and science projects (help me now!).

But the busyness of life doesn’t mean that I don’t want to give my family a nutritious meal. That’s one of the reasons I love adding Borden® Cheese to any recipe I serve my family.

Our busy family also means I’m always on the lookout for simple slow cooker recipes to add to our monthly meal plan. It’s a huge bonus if it’s a low carb dinner that fits with my goal of shedding a few pounds.

This cauliflower soup recipe is so very good! Adding topping like extra cheese and crumbled bacon makes is a dinner my children can’t refuse. They don’t even know it’s good for them!

I found my Borden® Cheese at our local Bi-Lo grocery store, but check out this store locator to find Borden® Cheese near you! While I was there I grabbed several varieties of cheese to use in the children’s lunchboxes, our dinners, and snacks.

Borden® Cheese isn’t just for making family meals. While our dinner cooked I enjoyed a snack of Borden® Cheese Cheddar Jack Slices, a sliced apple, and sweet and spicy rosemary cashews.

    Any suggestion as to what else can be used other than heavy cream? Will coconut milk work?
    Thanks,

    I am trying to get the nutritional content for this recipe but am not sure how many servings this makes. Also wondering if I can substitute almond flour as regualar has more carbs?

    Can we replace the flour with an alternative because flour is not low carb
