Unbelievable Fat-Free Cauliflower Soup

Recipe #290733 | 40 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 2 -4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Reddyrat

This is a simple, healthy recipe. I couldn't believe that cauliflower and water could be so creamy and flavorful. I added curry powder after pureeing the cauliflower. You could also add chicken boullion to the water and/or fresh herbs.

Ingredients

  • head cauliflower
  • water
  • 1-1 1/2 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
  • tablespoon pepper (or to taste)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Add cauliflower to food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
    2. 2
      Transfer to a large pot and cover with water.
    3. 3
      Boil until cauliflower is completely tender and there are no more floating pieces - about 30 minutes (the time will depend on the size of the cauliflower bits).
    4. 4

    6. 6
      Serve.

    This was a really quick and easy soup to whip together. I used my stick blender to puree it in the pan, after draining some of the water out. I felt it needed a little more seasoning, so I added some garlic powder and green onion. This was a hearty soup, without the guilt of all the calories. This soup could be used as a base for many other soups, in place of a potato soup, possibly. This was made for PAC 2008! Thank you, and I'll be making it again!
