Ingredients
Two large heads of cauliflower4 c. chicken broth1 c. white onion1 c. chopped celery4 cloves garlic, minced or chopped1-2 tsp. salt (to taste)1/4 tsp. pepper1 bay leaf (to be removed before blending)1 tsp. olive oil
Combine 4 cups of chicken broth with the florets from two large heads of cauliflower (rinsed) in a pot with salt, pepper, garlic, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer (covered) for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop 1 cup of white onion and 1 cup of celery (more if desired). Combine these with about 1 tsp. of olive oil and sautee until soft. Remove from heat.
Remove the bay leaf from the cauliflower. Take about 1/4 of the cauliflower and broth mixture and run it through either a blender or food processor until smooth. Repeat until all the mixture has been smoothed. (Be careful! Liquid is extremely hot--handle carefully in the blender/food processor!) Add the sauteed celery and onion and any salt or seasoning desired to taste. Mix well.
Although the calories in this recipe do not account for any additions, you could add bacon, a garnish of cheese, or other fresh vegetables (or maybe even leftover chicken breast?).
Serve with a crusty bread! Enjoy! (Makes 8 servings)
