Carefully add skillet contents to a high-speed blender. Blend up until smooth, adding more broth if needed. Pour into a medium-sized pot and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, cook the beef, breaking it up, until done. Add cooked beef, chickpeas, cauliflower, and salsa to pot. Stir and heat over medium heat until soup is hot and bubbly.
