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...

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.
