Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 medium white onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 head cauliflower, chopped 2 medium potatoes, chopped 3 chicken legs 4 cups water 1 tbsp low fat sour cream 2 tbsp flour
Herbs and spices of your choice
Tips
We like thyme, rosemary, or dill in this soup. Use 1 teaspoon dried.
Directions
Coat a large pot with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots (along with your choice of herbs and spices). Cook for five minutes, until they start to get some color and soften. Add the potatoes, cauliflower, chicken and water. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat back to medium. Cook for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the veggies are tender. Remove the chicken legs, pull the meat off the bones and shred. Return the chicken to the pot. Stir together the flour and sour cream in a small bowl, then whisk into the soup. Simmer for two minutes and serve.
I made this today. I added Italian Seasoning and Turmeric because it is so healthy. Tastes great. I will add the sour cream and flour tomorrow when I reheat it for dinner.

My family loved this. I also used chicken breasts instead of legs and chicken broth (low salt) instead of water. I also added onion and garlic.

Very good, and more filling than it looks. It was a little bland so I added a bit more pepper sprinkled on top. We had just this soup for supper and it was more than enough!

I used chicken broth in lieu of water and left out the chicken entirely. It was still GREAT and my husband, who is not a soup guy, even said it was good.

I liked it well enough the first time; the second time I made it with some baking potatoes so it came out with more of a potato soup texture. Tasted awesome!

I sauteed the onions & garlic and threw in the chicken breast gradually adding the water then wen cooked I drained pouring the juice over the pot of vegies omitting the potatoes & using leek once cooked I put it thru the processor and remarried it with the chicken! Mmm delish da dish!

Sounds excellent, I've been looking for a good cauliflower soup recipe for a while. I'll replace the salt with Mrs. Dash and save almost 400 mg sodium per serving, and it's a great base so my second time I may add some fresh or frozen veggies for color. Thanks.

The water does not seem proportionate to all that cauliflower. A whole head? Also, I think I would use broth next time as some of the others have done. It is quite bland. But after making a few adjustments, we enjoyed this soup!
