Now I love creamy soups, but I am trying to reduce the fat and dairy content of my diet. Cauliflower is quite creamy anyway but I use beans to thicken the soup and give it a lovely creamy texture.
Ingredients-
1 cauliflower (a flabby one is fine as it will be cooked and blizted anyway). Chopped up.
2 large onions, chopped.
2 carrots chopped
2 Sticks of celery
Water
Pinch of curry powder (optional)
Veggie stock powder 2 x tsp
Black pepper
Salt or braggs aminos.
2 cloves of garlic peeled and chopped.
A splash of hot sauce. (optional).
A can of cannellini (white kidney) beans (you can use chickpeas too).
A squeeze of lemon juice. (I don't know why, it just seems to add something).
You can fry the veg first but I never bother and anyway it cuts out some fat. Just place all in a saucepan, cover with stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 30 mins.
Cool slightly. Whizz up in a blender or food processor. You can thin it down if too thick. Adjust seasoning to taste.
As with many soups etc. This tastes better when reheated.
