Healthy Crockpot recipes aren’t the easiest to find sometimes. Especially ones that are delicious and make you want to cook them time and time again.

Don’t let the vegetables fool you. This soup is rich, hearty, and filling. A tasty way to warm up on a cold day.
Best Crockpot
You need a crockpot large enough for all of the veggies and broth. My recommendation a 5 Quart Slow Cooker or larger for this recipe for that reason. I know a lot of people have a favorite crockpot or brand that they use.
I personally love a programmable crockpot like this Hamilton beach because I don’t have to remember to turn it off. Really as long as you are happy with your crockpot and everything fits, you should be good to go with this recipe.

This Cauliflower Cheese Soup is keto, low carb friendly which makes it perfect for so many people to enjoy! It is a great meal if you are trying to watch what you eat, but not sure what to make for dinner.
Storing & Reheating
This recipe makes a lot of soup, and that is a good thing because it is so yummy. Just store this soup in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop in a sauce pan or in your microwave for best results.
