Creamy Cauli & Prosciutto Soup - Low Carb
A creamy cauliflower soup with prosciutto - also suitable for low carb lovers!
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 500g cauliflower florets, chopped
- 4 cups/1L vegetable stock (reduced salt if you prefer)
- 1 x 250g block Philadelphia cream cheese cubed
- 1 heaped tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 200g prosciutto sliced into short strips
- 2 tsp butter
Instructions
- Place cauliflower, stock, mustard and cream cheese into slow cooker
- Cook on LOW for 3hrs
- When soup is almost finished this 3hr cooking time, pan fry your prosciutto in butter until crisped
- Reserve a small amount of crisp prosciutto for garnish
- Using a stick blender blend the soup contents until smooth. I did this in another bowl to preserve the surface of my slow cooker then returned it to the slow cooker once blended.
- Add remaining prosciutto to soup, stir to combine and continue to cook on LOW for another 2hrs for depth of flavour
- Serve witha scattering of cooked prosciutto
Notes
- The pan frying step could be done as step 1 in a searing slow cooker if you prefer not to dirty extra dishes, then set aside in fridge until needed
- You may prefer to add your prosciutto to soup as is without the pan crisping - that's ok too
- Serve as a soup entree or main

Very tasty. I added a couple of cloves of mixed garlic to the recipe. Will definitely make it again.
?? Love this soup. So easy to make. I added garlic and onions and didn’t put the prosciutto through the whole soup as it was quite a salty variety and just served it on top. What a fabulous recipe so tasty ?, loved the cream cheese and mustard. Great for the family. Give it a try you will ?. My family adored it.
A very tasty soup, but the prosciutto made it a bit salty. Next time I won’t add as much.
Would this be suitable to freeze?
