Easy to make soup.

1 head cauliflower (chopped)
1 TBSP olive olive
2 cloves garlic
1 onion (chopped)
30oz chicken broth
1 cup milk


saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is soft. dump in chicken broth and cauliflower and boil until cauliflower is soft, remove from heat and puree with immersion blender, place back on low heat and add milk and mix thoroughly. Garnish with nutmeg and/or cheese. Salt/Pepper to taste.

Pretty good flavor and low cals. I've also made this with yams/sweet potatos instead of cauliflower and it's awesome. Just make sure you eat some protein source with it ;)

I dont' nkow about the puree part because I really love cauliflower whole, but I like the idea here...have you thought about adding some peanut butter to the broth and perhaps something to add some spice (curry powder, hot sauce, Sriracha, etc.?)....

curry would be good in this one ...

Or even just a litte cumin if you don't want to do the whole curry :)

Yes! Add all sorts of spices! I didn't include them cause everyone has different ideas of what's good. In the yam/sweet potato version I put lots of cinnamon, splenda etc... most folks probably don't like sweet soup :)

basil
cumin
onion salt
oregano
chives
nutmeg

spice it UP! yummy.

I'm tellin' ya...peanut butter does wonders for soup bases. Peanuts carry taste in your mouth longer and that chestnut brown color is really wonderful.

I'll have to try that. Other than Thai food I've not been a peanut person till I started eating clean ... I absolutely loathed PB&J even as a kid, but I've found usess for natty PB for it's fat.

I'll give PB a whirl in stock and see what happens.

I've made a similar recipe. Don't be afraid to puree the cauliflower - it comes out lovely and velvety and makes a nice, thick soup.

I've wondered about making a roasted cauliflower version of this. Since the weather is getting cooler now, I'll have to make it once it starts raining. If you haven't tried roasted cauliflower, just chop some up, toss with a bit of salt and pepper, olive oil, garlic and a bit of cayenne (or curry or cumin or whatever you like) and roast in a 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until it begins to turn golden brown. It takes on a lovely, nutty, roasted flavor and is one of my favorite veggies to roast!

This is a great idea except I don' tthink Cauliflower is in season right now so I have to buy it frozen (I don't usually buy "fresh" veggies that are out of season...). I hadn't thought to roast cauliflower before and its one of my favorite veggies...did you ever think to maybe roast the garlic before you included it in with the roasted c-flower?! I bet that'd do double-duty!!

No, I hadn't thought about roasting the garlic, but that's a great idea! I'm so making this next week for dinner.

And I just saw cauliflower at the farmer's market not this weekend (didn't go, other plans) but the weekend before/end of August. I think it's a fall veggie, so fresh cauliflower away!

Ok, I made this roasting the cauliflower and several cloves of garlic with some Hungarian paprika and curry powder and it was delicious :D Served it with turkey on whole wheat. Yum :)
