Cauliflower Soup (I promise, it's good)

Okay, so don't stop reading. Yes, this soup is made from cauliflower. No, it does not taste like crap. Have I lead you astray yet? I didn't think so.

This soup is delicious and creamy, but crazy low in fat. It's also really filling. I am a fan.

Here is what you need (adapted from whole lifestyle nutrition)...

One head of cauliflower - make sure there is no brown on it - chopped into pieces

2 tbsp of butter

1 large yellow onion

4-5 cloves of garlic, diced

4 cups of chicken (or vegetable) stock

1 tsp of dried thyme

1 tsp of pepper

salt to taste

Here is what you do...

1. Melt butter in a large pot on medium high heat. Stir in onion and garlic and let sauté about 4-5 minutes.

2. Add cauliflower, thyme and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and then let simmer for about 30 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft. 

3. Add salt and pepper. 

4. Then, you can either pour your soup into a large blender, blend it until smooth, then add back to your pot, OR you can leave it in your pot and blend with an immersion blender.*

5. Once it's back on the heat, add the half and half and stir. Let simmer another 5-10 minutes more until thick.

6. ENJOY!

*If you like to make soups, immersion blenders are AMAZING. They make it 100% easier and they are actually fairly inexpensive. I got mine for $30.

Make this soup. It is so good and quite healthy. It's ALMOST not soup weather anymore, so DO IT NOW! 

Have a great weekend :)
