Fit Foods Friday: Cauliflower Soup

If you love cauliflower like I do, you will LOVE this soup. It is very low in calorie and can be eaten hot in the winter when you are in the mood for something warm and comforting, OR chilled in the summer when you are craving something a bit more refreshing.

CAULIFLOWER SOUP
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 head of cauliflower (cut into florets)
4 cups chicken broth
2 oz nf cream cheese

Heat oil, onion, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cook about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower then cover and cook another 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until cauliflower is tender, about 15 min. Transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan and cut in chunks of the cream cheese. Whisk to blend as cream cheese is melting. Season with salt and pepper.

This recipe makes about 6 1-cup servings and each serving is UNDER 90 calories so don't feel guilty if you go back for a second helping.
