No Puree Cauliflower Soup

Submitted by ColCadsMom

"I searched for a cauliflower soup recipe with no potatoes, and didn't call for any of the soup to be pureed. Since I couldn't find one online or through the recipe request, I put some together and came up with this recipe. It is the perfect side to any sandwich. Toss in some cooked, cubed ham, and you have a wonderful main dish!"

[*Parsley*]

Very nice flavor and texture; quite different and heartier than the pureed versions of creamy cauliflower soup. I used fresh cauliflower instead of frozen. I used fat free half and half and ff milk. The soup was still very thick and creamy. This will become one of my regulars! Thanx for sharing.
