Thanks Jayne. I really enjoyed this. I find I needed an extra hours cooking time on high,. Which is probably just my sc. I stuck to the recipe. I I’ll do this again, double the recipe and also add garlic.
Absolutely amazing recipe 🙂 even the fussy partner went back for seconds! 10/10 ??
5 out of 5. I used 200g of blue cheese instead of camembert. So easy and soooo tasty.
Proud and thankful
Cooked this and loved it!
I added a spoon of minced garlic to mine and I left the skin on the cheese 🙂
I also didn’t blend the end soup as I LOVED it just as it was!
Such a delicious soup! Whole family loved it, gets requested almost weekly, and it’s so easy!
While it really did not look appealing after a good blitz… it was super tasty and really exceeded my expectations. Would love to know whether the chunky look was me and I should have blended longer, or just how it ends up. Overall an amazing recipe
You can see photos of my end result here >> HERE
I made this yesterday for us and it tastes delicious, haven’t blitzed it though. Thankyou so much for sharing the recipe! 🙂
Yummo I decided not to blitz and serve a bit chunky on the cards again
Overall nice soup. I used skim milk and added 1tsp minced garlic. Cooked 4h low then 2h high. Blitzed & served with crusty bread roll. Dont be deceived by its appearance it is a taste sensation. ?
Made this yesterday. Delicious! Very thick so thinned it out with a bit of water. Added garlic but otherwise stuck to recipe. Took longer than the recipe said. Maybe my SC is a bit slow!
This soup is just lovely, thick and creamy, I will definitely be making this again. Just loved it
Made this today with Zero Lactosr Anchor Milk. Amazing doesn’t describe how yummy this is. I blitzed it. What a hit. Can’t wait to make it again.
Can I freeze this soup
Does this soup refrigerate well? Just wondering because of the cheese in it
Made this tonight with some slight variations. Added 3 tbsp of garlic. 1L of chicken stock. And Gorgonzola instead of Camembert. Blitzed with crusty bread was AMAZING!!
Made this yesterday I added 1 tablespoon of minced garlic then kept to the recipe. It took longer to cook than stated in the recipe could be my sc It was really good but I found it very rich next time I will use less Camembert
This was absolutely delicious… I too k it to a friends for lunch and everybody loved it… I added garlic but otherwise followed recipe exactly.. it’s a new favourite
Absolutely loved it. Took longer to cook than recipe but fortunately previous comments were taken into consideration.
This was a huge hit in our house! I used a little diced ham as garnish instead of using bacon in the soup, evaporated milk instead of ordinary milk and added garlic and fresh mixed herbs. A smooth, creamy delightful soup that everyone loved.
Made this on the weekend and it turned out amazingly.
Only difference is I left skin on the Camembert and all was ok ?
Great recipe !
Divine. I didnt have any leek so I left that ingredient out. This tasted better than any soup Ive eaten at any restaurant!! Im hiding it so I dont have to share??
cooked this today really enjoyed added a little more to recipe
I have made this soup 5 times in the last 3 weeks (twice without the camenbert as I didn’t have any. I added a splash of worcestershire sauce instead those times). I use 1 litre chicken stock and only a splash of milk.
It is safe to say it has quickly become a favourite in our house and amongst several of my friends who have asked for the recipe. I cook it about 3.5 hours on high (6.5 lt slow cooker) before blitzing.
This sounds amazing! What would be the best substitute for milk to make it a low carb soup?
Cooking Cream 🙂
What size camembert cheese did everyone use please?
I used 300g
Does it freeze well?
Sounds delish definitely going to make this when master 5”s godfather and partner come for dinner
What a delicious low carbohydrate, low calorie soup!!
Made this soup last Winter, minus the bacon due to a pork intolerance. Can confirm it was absolutely delicious. Refrigerated well – I think we were eating portions for about a week!
Cooked it. Loved it. Quick to make and very cheap to make as well. Big winner and will make again ????
Really enjoyed this! Very tasty! I think next time I’ll leave the bacon out and just serve it with crispy bacon bits as I thought blitzing the bacon made the texture a bit strange. Loved it though and will definitely be making it again soon.
I made this for the first time today and it was delicious.
I changes the milk for cream and added 2 tsp of minced garlic, i will definitely be making this again. Nothing beats home made soup ??
By far one of the best soups I have ever had! Will be adding this to my often made recipes
Loved this recipe, was so much better than I expected. I will definitely make this again
A soup full of flavour and very filling. Perfect for a main meal. I did freeze and didn’t loose taste or texture.
Made this over weekend omg yummy, added bit of extra garlic forgot to put crispy bacon on top . Grand kids ate and enjoyed so did rest of family. Very thick so will thin a little bit with milk next serving
Absolutely loved this soup, used minced garlic the only change I made, definitely a keeper. Thankyou Jayne for sharing. ?
Absolutely delicious, added coconut cream instead milk, but recipe had me a Camembert
Made this soup and it was delicious. Full of flavour and simple to make. Smelled amazing while it was cooking.
Plenty of leftovers to freeze for work lunches.
Will definitely be making this again.
Thank you. Something very different for this household. Really enjoyed here – even by the male. Will certainly be making it again.
Hi, wondering if the soup was nice and smooth when you blitzed it.
You can blitz it to smooth if you wish Sharon yes 🙂 I’ve left ours partially chunky so only blitzed half of it and we loved it that way too 🙂
I love this recipe although I mostly use it as a guide. I often replace the leek with brown onion and the camembert with tasty cheese, all depends what I have at hand. Always a great, tasty soup though.
I made this today, and it was bluddy beautiful…Had enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Will be making it again for sure.
I wasn’t real sure about this , but gave it a go anyway . I’d ran out of Camembert so used Triple Brie instead . A perfect substitute.
It was really nice . The crispy bacon bits on top really made it .
I’m loving this soup and it’s very filling and yummy? but can someone tell me how many calories it has please
If I could give this soup 10 stars I would !
I really wasn’t prepared for how creamy and mouthwatering it was going to be …..
I’m literally high-fiving myself because I love it so much 🙂
Made this yesterday, absolutely loved it. I used light milk to keep the calories down a bit. Might add some more garlic and bacon to it next time.
Very yummy light soup. Made as per recipe. Will be adding this one to the favs ?
Just made this for the first time today. It probably took 4 hours on high, and was delicious .
This is a very yummy & easy prep soup. The only thing I added was a little cream when serving.
i made this today, i blended fully and its thick and like its curdled and sitting thick on top. help! ?
Without seeing it’s hard to be sure Sam but it sounds like it needs another really good mix to bring it all even consistency 🙂
Saw this this morning. I had all the ingredients minus the Leek which I substituted with white onion. Sounded different, interesting and nice so decided to give it a go. Since I added double the volume of stock I thickened it up with potato. So yum. Was given the tick of approval from the spousal one. Tasty, filling and one to repeat. I also cooked it on high for about 3.5hrs before blending it.
Stumbled across this recipe and immediately loved the idea and so did the misses, I did add SPECK to the recipe along with bacon as it has awesome flavor, also I added onion along with the leak as I love onions oh yeah I did add garlic as love that too. We both loved the dish as I did not blitz it but the misses wants the next one blitzed. Thanks Paulene
So easy and delicious! I added a potato and blitzed it all. Velvety, filling, super delicious, perfect dinner on a miserable rainy day??
I recently made this but substituted the cauliflower for broccoli as it is much cheaper at the moment. It was delicious and both of my children demolished it. Very filling 🙂
Made this using two small broccoli instead. Added two teaspoons of crushed garlic. Blended until very smooth. It was delicious.
Cooked this on low for 4hr and then it needed more time – so another 2.5hr on high. Blitzed with stick blender.
Served with croutons (didn’t have extra bacon) for serving. It is very creamy and the Camembert gives it a unique flavour. Very nice.
We love the flavours.
Made it several times now, and have tweaked a little
I use a smoked hock instead of the bacon (remove near end of cooking time, take meat off, discard bones, and (we like it) added chunky, after the rest is blitzed
I also peel and chop a couple of potatoes, to slightly thicken consistency
I add 1 Litre of chicken stock
I don’t add milk, but instead add some cooking cream, or sour cream, while blitzing
cauliflower, cheese, bacon soup, wow amazing, made it tonight, the only thing I changed was to add Dijon mustard? wonderful filling soup, from this site

This soup is just delicious & so easy to do – even my husband wants it made again. Thank you for sharing recipe ??
Made this recently and it was delicious! I used a 280g wheel of Camembert chopped up into wedges and left the rind on. When the soup was cooked I skimmed the rind out, it had “ melted “ off so very easy to do.
In addition I added a heaped teaspoon of Dijon mustard ( previously suggested by another reviewer).
I made this the other day for friends coming for lunch. First time trying it. Their comments were “divine, absolutely fabulous “ . Not a drop. Left. Certainly a favourite . Thanks
This soup was absolutely delicious! We had it ‘chunky’ the first night then puréed the rest to try the next day, both versions were winners!
I made this today. It is absolutely delicious. I had to try it after reading all the comments 🤗
I added a bulb and half of garlic, crushing the half and sauteing with leeks and most of the chopped up bacon. The whole bulb of garlic I cooked in the soup. Squeezing into the soup when it was cooked. I also added a couple of potatoes chopped up small. Into the sauted veges. Adding all to the SC with Vegeta stock, 250mls chicken stock and milk.
Blended after 2 hours with well cooked bacon bits added.
Absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely make this again. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
I am quite useless in the kitchen but this soup is so easy to make for a gourmet result. I added crushed garlic but other than that I stuck to the recipe. I will be making this again 😋
Made this several days ago. A big hit and my wife loved it as well. Followed the recipe and blended the ingredients till smooth.
I made this for the second time yesterday for lunch entree today with my family.
As the same from my first attempt, this is the most amazing soup. Everyone loved it.
I followed the recipe, but the difference this time is that I used fresh garlic (2 x cloves) and 1 tspn both salt and pepper.
I cooked additional bacon to crumble on top.
NB: This soup can be frozen, and is just as perfect defrosted and reheated as is cooked fresh.
There was none left over for the freezer this time
Didn’t really enjoy this, and was so so looking forward to trying it. It definitely needed way more cooking time, as my cauli was still hard. Also when I moulied it, the texture was weird. My daughter thought I was serving up porridge!!!! In future I’d either cook it way longer, or else maybe roast the cauli first. And perhaps use normal onion rather than leek as they didn’t mouli well either. So a real shame!!
Just love this soup – so simple & yet so tasty. Freezes well – tastes just as nice fresh or after being frozen. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Lyn 🙂
Love this recipe… easy and delicious. Definitely will be cooking again. I used 6 slices of bacon as that is how many were in the packet which I defrosted and I used 300ml cream and 200ml milk. I did not remove skin from the cheese and only added salt and white pepper – no garlic. Once cooked, I gave it a quick blitz as we like our soup creamy and chunky.
That’s awesome to hear – thanks Debbie! 🙂
I think this is now my favourite soup, absolutely loved it! I used Carnation long life lite cream instead of milk to make it creamer and I also left the skin on the cheese.
Love this! Thanks Lisa 🙂
Wanted a new winter soup to add to SC options and this was delicious. So creamy and thick and great with garlic naan
I love soup season Kylie! So yummy and easy 🙂
this is so easy to make and is delicious and could change to broccoli .
Great suggestion Kerrie 🙂
We have made this twice now and loved it.
I detest Camembert, so subbed it out with Pizza Blend cheese and it was fabulous.
The first time we made it, it was in the slow cooker, the second time I was super late getting home but had a craving for this, so popped it into the pressure cooker and it was still amazing.
Awesome thanks Miz! 🙂
⭐️Made it, everyone LOVED it! ⭐️
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Jenni – it’s so appreciated! 🙂 🙂
Really enjoyed it. Next time I might change to cream and use more Camembert but loved it and will do again
So pleased you enjoyed it Michelle 🙂
I have made this cauliflower bacon camerbert soup for tea tonight and it is devine I doubled all ingredients and added a couple potatoes also.
Thanks Tracy for your lovely feedback! Great to see your variations also 🙂
