Cream of Cauliflower Soup - 8.7g Carbs, 2.6g Fiber, 3.8g Sugar
From: www.diabeticconnect.com - By Gabby
This is soooooo smooth! It is better than cream potato soup, the texture is much more fine.
3 Tbsp Butter
3/4 cup Diced Onion
3/4 cup Diced Celery
1 Quart Homemade Chicken Broth (no salt)
1 10 oz pkg Frozen Cauliflower
1/2 cup Half & Half
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Melt butter over low heat and saute your onions and celery until they are translucent.
In a large pot, combine the sauteed veggies with broth and cauliflower. Simmer until the cauliflower is tender.
With a slotted spoon, remove the veggies from the pot and place into a blender. Carefully pour as much broth as will fit into the blender and puree until smooth. (let the steam vent thru your lid a little to prevent decorating your cabinets with HOT cauliflower)
Pour your pureed mixture back into the pan and add your cream, salt and pepper.
Note: If you want to reduce some calories, use skim milk or even low fat sour cream instead of the half & half.
