Never been a fan of raw or roasted cauliflower. Since I can't eat potatoes, I'm so tired of choosing broccoli as a side. I was adventurous the other day while at Ruby Tuesdays when they made an effort to add something new. Mashed Cauliflower. I enjoyed the creamy taste although the texture wasn't creamy. Since fall has been here, I've craved potato soup. After researching a bit online, I made some cauliflower soup. Cauliflower is cheaper this time of year. I think I prefer it to potato soup! Below you'll see the recipe I made up.
1. Chop large onion, not fine but not large pieces. Saute in a bit of olive oil. Cover pan to keep juices.
2. Take apart a head of cauliflower. Try not to use too much stem. Add to onion.
3. Add 2 small (veg size) cans of chicken broth and one can of water.
4. Salt/pepper to taste. (I prepare mine to also salt/pepper to taste after serving.)
5. Add 1/2 stick butter, cover, boil till very soft.
6. Food process as smooth as possible.
7. Do not put back on heat. Add 1/2 pint of whipping cream (or use nonfat 1/2 & 1/2. I'm going for the cream taste that Ruby Tuesday had so I don't think milk would be rich enough.
Healthy ideas: use non-fat broth, non-fat cream and low fat butter substitute.
The only thing white that I know of that doesn't have bad carbs and won't raise my blood sugar.

I have some cauliflower in the fridge right now...will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower! And as it is getting colder in our part of Kentucky, soup is so on the menu.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got something here! I can't wait to try it! I adore cauliflower, but have never tried it in a soup. I popped over from the Show & Share Wednesday Linkey. Thanks for posting there! Come visit me sometime! Deb @ Kneaded Creations.
