CAULIFLOWER BISQUE Cold Weather Food

[mission to lose]

I made this today. From Linda's website:

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home


(Great for this snowy cold day)
CAULIFLOWER BISQUE
1 small cauliflower, cut into small chunks, about 20 ounces after trimming
1 small onion, diced or leeks, chopped, 2 1/2 ounces
2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped *



In a 3-quart saucepan, sauté the onion or leek and celery in the butter until tender. Add the chopped cauliflower, a bit of salt and pepper and the broth; bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low; cover and simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Use a stick blender to puree the soup until completely smooth and thick. Add the cream; mix well. Add salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the parsley and serve.



Makes about 6 cups or 6 big servings
Can be frozen
* Do not use dried parsley.

I love this recipe and the only problem is that it doesn't make enough for me. I used a package of frozen once and it worked out just fine making it a great quick soup recipe. Thanks for the reminder

I made something similar to this last weekend when I tried putting "cauli mash" in the magic bullet. They came out too thin for mashed "potatoes", so I made them into soup and it was delicious. I'll try again with your recipe though, it sounds even better, my whole family loves the taste of leeks. Thanks for sharing!!

Ohhh I love this soup! Even if one might not prefer cauliflower, it doesn't taste like cauliflower at all (at least, not to me ) It's very creamy and savory.

Usually the "mashed potatoes" cauliflower will be too thin. The trick is you have to let it simmer over low heat so the extra water will evaporate. Mine took about an hour but it depends on how you like it. Keep an eye on it though, I've had big bubbles pop and splatter the stove, but the heat was probably too high lol.
