Ingredients

  • 1 head medium cauliflower, cored and chopped
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup fat free half and half
  • 6 tbsps parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.12 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Directions

  • Dice onion, 2 cloves garlic and one medium to large head of cauliflower.
  • Sauté onion and garlic (salt and pepper) in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes).
  • Add cauliflower and chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Cook about 10-15 minutes until cauliflower is soft.
  • Use immersion blender or add small amounts at a time to a regular blender (very small amounts or this could blow the top off of the blender) until soup is smooth and creamy. Return to pot.
  • Season with a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, a dash or two of cayenne (again to taste).
  • Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of fat free half and half (can use milk or real half and half or even cream if you're not really worried about calorie/fat content). add 1/4 cup or so of good quality parmesan cheese (a nice Gouda or even Swiss would probably work just fine).
  • Simmer over low heat - do not boil after adding milk - for 10 or 15 minutes just to heat thoroughly, melt cheese and meld flavors.
  • Garnish with additional pepper, chives, sprinkle of cheese or maybe even some chopped bacon.
