Our Easy Potato-Cauliflower Soup…
- This recipe is another delicious way to use your cauliflower!
- The recipe is adapted from my homemade recipe for Mashed-Cauli Potatoes.
- Potato-Cauliflower Soup is not only very tasty, but it’s less starchy compared to a creamy potato soup.
- We love this soup for two reasons; it’s simple and positively delicious! And it makes my first course ready in no time!
My family loves soups, especially creamy texture ones.
Since we’re having some chilly weather again, I decided to make this one.
I had some leftover mashed potatoes from the night before and decided to make a soup with them.
So I took those leftover mashed potatoes and mixed it with steamed cauliflower, onions, vegetable broth, and grated Parmesan cheese.
And this potato-cauliflower soup was born!
This soup was not only good, it was much easier to make – for sure!
You’ll be amazed how light, creamy and so tasty it turned out!
It’s the perfect starter to serve for this season, especially on chilly nights.
Serve with your favorite sandwiches, or with our Grilled Cheese and Pear Sandwich, and you ‘ll have an easy dinner.
Here’s a Great Tip…
If you plan to make mashed potatoes as a side dish for dinner this week, make extra! And plan to use the leftovers to make this soup, the very next day. You can use anywhere from 1 cup to 3 cups of mashed potatoes with this recipe.
Our Potato-Cauliflower Soup is an ideal soup to make with leftover mashed potatoes from the night before.
As the final touch, I added a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil on top, to give it an additional rich-savory flavor to the soup.

What a delicious soup! I've definitely been in soup mode lately and this sounds like it would hit the spot.
What a great way to use left overs! This soup looks perfect for a fallish day. Thank you!
Soup Perfection!
Hey Anna & Liz! This soup looks great and I love that you used leftover mashed potatoes. I never know what to do with those, as they never taste the same the next night unless you slather them in gravy that is. Cauliflower soup is one of our favorite soups so I'm sure with the addition of mashed potatoes, it would be even better. xoxo, Jackie
Anyone who is able to take something as mundane sounding as cauliflower and potatoes and put them together in a soup that looks this delicious, beautiful, and appetizing, is in possession of nothing less than pure talent. Great job with this post; I love it!
Thanks Dan for the awesome comment. You are so sweet, and a great guy!
My husband has been requesting cauliflower soup for some time now – but I never thought to add potatoes – I think that's brilliant! Beautiful soup – love the olive oil garnish 🙂
Thanks Tricia. My husband is always skeptical when I am experimenting with food, especially when its for dinner; but he absolutely LOVED this one, and that's not always the case in my house. I hope your family will enjoy it as much. 🙂
