HI
I had posted a recipe for Caulifower cheese soup but I have substituted broccoli for the cauliflower and it turned out pretty good.
ALso you can eliminate the flour if you don't want the extra carbs -it might just be a little thinner--Hope you like it!!!
4 cups cauliflower florets or broccoli florets
1 cup chopped onion
14 1/2 ounces can chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup cream
2 cups water
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt -- optional
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- optional
1/8 teaspoon white pepper-optional-I use black pepper
-Makes 2 quarts
-In a large saucepan, combine the florets, onions, broth.
-Cover & cook over medium heat until the vegies are tender.
-Meanwhile in another pot, melt the butter, stir in the flour until smooth.
-Mix together the cream & the water & gradually add to the flour mixture.
-Cook & stir until bubbly& continue cooking & stirring for 2-3 minutes or until thickened..
-Reduce heat; add cheese & seasonings.
-Pour all into the floret mixture.
-Simmer slowly for 30 minutes; do not boil.
-Per serving:7.6 minus 1.7 gr. fiber= 5.9 carbs & 14.6 gr. protein
-Per serving w/ broccoli florets: 9.1 minus 2.7 gr. fiber= 6.4 carbs & 15.9 gr. protein
