Cauliflower Chowder

As you may recall from a previous blog of mine, I have never been a big fan of cauliflower. So again to my surprise, I have a cauliflower recipe for you that taste great and is healthy too. My husband came across this recipe - he was getting tired of me making the caramelized cauliflower all the time!

Here it is....

Cauliflower Chowder:

5 Tbsp. EVOO
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
6-8 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped thinly
2 medium cauliflower, cored and broken- you could use broccoli in place of part of the cauliflower
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
4 cups skim milk
4 cups water
2 Tbsp Vegetable Broth Base
1/8 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg

Lightly saute onion and garlic in bottom of pot with 2 tbsp olive oil. Then add all the other ingredients and bring to a very light boil. Let simmer until the cauliflower is soft (about 20-30 min). Stir frequently. Serves 4.

Can you believe how simple this is? Fast, easy, taste great, and it's not loaded down with a lot of fat!

Happy eating to you and your family!
