Ingredients

    2 carrots, sliced
    2 onions, sliced
    1 c. cauliflower, frozen or fresh, chopped
    2 stalks celery, about 3/4 cup, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
    2 tsp parsley

    pinch ginger
    black pepper to taste
    4 cups water
    6 tsp dry chicken boullion
    1 c frozen spinach or 2 c fresh

Directions

Cook onion in dash of olive oil or non-stick spray. Add garlic, celery. Continue to sautee. Add carrots and cauliflower and all spices (except boullion), stirring frequently over low heat to soften and let the herbs flavor the veggies. Add water and boullion, simmer 10 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove most veggies to bowl of food processor. Pulse several times to consistency desired - chunky or smooth. Add back to broth base and stir. Add spinach to warm. If fresh spinach is used, chop and add to wilt. Serve with croutons and a dollop of low-fat sour cream if desired.
