Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    1 lb roughly chopped cauliflower florets (about 6 cups)
    2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    5 cloves garlic
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    2 ounces (4 tbsp) fat-free cream cheese


Tips

Only half cup of broth is accounted in nutritionals, since rest is drained an unused, but buffered for absorption.


Directions

Bring broth to a simmer and add cauliflower. Cover and cook until tender, stirring/smashing occasionally, (about 5-6 mins). Drain cauliflower over a bowl to reserve broth and add cauliflower to food processor or blender.

Return pot to stove and spray with non-stick spray or use some set aside broth and saute garlic on medium-low heat until fragrant and soft, 30-60 seconds. Add garlic from pan and onion powder into cauliflower.

Add 1/4 cup reserved broth, and cheeses. Process until smooth adding extra broth if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
