[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Cauliflower Soup - 17g Carbs, 4.6g Fiber

 

Cauliflower Soup - 17g Carbs, 4.6g Fiber

From: Fiona Haynes, About.com

What cauliflower lacks in color, it makes up for in nutrients. A member
of the same family as broccoli, cabbage and kale, cauliflower makes a
wonderful base for a soup.
Cook Time: 35 minutes

2 tsp canola olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium leek, white part only, finely sliced
1 stick of celery, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 medium cauliflower (about 1 1/2 -2 lb), trimmed and cut into small florets
1 medium Yukon gold potato, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups fat-free, low-sodium broth
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil on medium in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or soup pot.
Saute onions, garlic, leek and celery, and cook until softened - about
4-5 minutes. Sprinkle thyme. Add cauliflower florets and potato pieces
followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low;
stir in parsley, then cover and simmer for 25 minutes, until cauliflower
and potato are soft.

Remove from heat and cool a little. Blend in batches in a blender or
food processor. Add freshly ground pepper to taste.
