Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Vegetable
This soup has a wonderful creamy texture and a cheesy flavour which makes it feel like a decadent dish, while hiding the fact that it is actually low carb and reasonably low fat.
The only trick is to resist serving it with a plate load of fresh bread and butter...
"I liked this. It was quite peppery even without the cayenne. It is even better cold." - wyattjYield: 4 Servings Ready in 45 minutes

Notes
This recipe was inspired by rpldmcelhany's Creamy Leek & Cauliflower soup, http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/175523/creamy-leek-cauliflower-soup
I've played around with the spice mix and replaced the heavy cream with low fat milk to make it an everyday rather than special occassion soup.
