Crock Pot Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

Challenge accepted, I looked over my list and got to work. Per the rules, I needed to use Sargento Cheddar Cheese, leeks, crimini mushrooms and cauliflower in my dish and so, our Crock Pot Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Soup was born! The creamy cheesysoup is so warming and delicious and the mushrooms at so much flavor. We just love this soup and incorporating Sargento’s Fine Cut Cheddar Cheese was easy because we use it all the time.

Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Soup Recipe Notes:

We used many ingredients that you may or may not be familiar with so here are a few notes to help you make this dish yours at home.

  • If you cannot find leeks in your grocery store, you can substitute 1 large onion. If you want to use leeks but you are unfamiliar with them, the look like large green onions at the grocery store. When you get them home you should rinse them off and slice them up.Then you should put the slices in a bowl of water to soak to get any grit off the slices. Drain and pat dry before using.
  • We used crimini mushrooms which are marketed as baby bellas in some grocery stores. You can used regular white button mushrooms if you’d like, but if you find the darker crimini mushrooms they will add a lot more flavor.
  • Use 2 Tablespoons flour for a thinner soup or 3 -4 Tablespoons for a thicker soup.
  • We used a 6 qt slow cooker to make this dish.
