Cauliflower Soup

Like most European countries, Scandinavians don’t eat one big dish they instead spread out their meal with small ones. But in their case, they usually pick a soup to start (which fills you up), then and only then move on to a fish or meat dish. Try this hearty, low cal option. This is a Weight Watchers recipe. Enjoy!

• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 5 1⁄2 cups cauliflower florets

• 1  chicken bouillon cube
• 1  cup skim milk

1. Combine cauliflower, water and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until cauliflower is tender; let cool slightly.
2. Transfer 2 cups cauliflower (including cooking liquid) to blender container and process until smooth. Repeat procedure, 2 cups at a time, until all cauliflower and cooking liquid has been processed.
3. In same, now-empty saucepan, melt margarine; add onion and sauté until translucent. Sprinkle with flour and bouillon and stir quickly to combine; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until flour mixture is completely dissolved and liquid thickens; stir in pureed cauliflower.
