Creamy Cauliflower Soup

 

I've moved!  Come visit me at www.thesaltykitchen.com!!!

 

Wait!

Don't go yet.  I know, I know...cauliflower.

It doesn't sound very exciting, I realize.  But, I must inform you that your feelings will change for this bland vegetable after making this soup.  In fact, I made a quiet little apology to it after I had my first bite.

Oh, lordy.  This is good.  Like, really, really good.  Like I had it for lunch four days in a row good, and I looked forward to it each day.  Like I got caught by someone licking my bowl good.

It's extremely low in calories, makes a great lunch, and you will be forever embarrassed when you see your boss because he saw you eating like a pig, literally.

Ingredients:
1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  Add flour and whisk to make a roux.  Stir for about 2 minutes, or until flour and butter are cooked through.

Add chicken broth, onions, and cauliflower.

Cook on medium until cauliflower is tender - about 20 minutes.

Puree with an immersion blender, or use a blender to mix in batches.

Blend until creamy.

Add salt and pepper to taste (I used 1 t. salt and 1/2 t. of black pepper).
