Unbelievable Fat-Free Cauliflower Soup

Recipe #290733 | 40 min | 10 min prep | add private note

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.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

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
    Take mixture back to food processor and puree until completely smooth. It's important to fully puree the the cauliflower - until it's very creamy.
  5. 5
    Season with salt and pepper to taste, adding more water if necessary.
  6. 6
    Serve.

This recipe was absolutely, amazingly delicious! I really didn't believe I would like it but this is definitely a keeper. It's a great soup, even for those who aren't avoiding fat, etc. Btw, thank you VickyJ for pointing out the salt typo. I used just 1 tsp and it was perfect for a large head of cauliflower. I also added the freshly ground pepper prior to pureeing it & found that the soup ended up nice & spicy (yum!) If you don't like it spicy it's probably better to add the pepper after the second puree (like the recipe says). Other than those 2 changes, I made it just as described & it was fantastic. Thanks for the recipe Reddyrat!

    This made for a guilt free and very warming lunch. I added some vegetable stock granules to the water and a bit of garlic powder at the end. I agree that this is the sort of recipe that is a good base that you can use to make your own. I particularly see it being good for a cold winter days and nights when you want a warm filler but can't spare the calories. Made for Healthy Choice ABC tag.

    I am coming back to do another review of this. I forgot to do this awhile ago and just now remembered. Could there have been a typo in the recipe on the amount of salt and pepper. I saw that and only added a couple tsps of both. I am sorry I am just now correcting this, I was extremely busy earlier this year with work, etc. I also added garlic powder and green onion. Other than the salt-n-pepper amounts, 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. 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!
