Creamy Cauliflower Soup With Corn and Mushrooms

Submitted by Aioli_Queen

"This recipe is delicious and creamy without too much additional fat. You could easily replace the sour-cream with broth if you wanted. I find it makes a great meal on a fall night with some crusty bread and a salad:-)"

Yum! I used fresh corn, removed it from the cobs, cut the cobs and put them in with the first ingredients and then removed them before using stick blender to blend. Then added mushrooms and mustard. Shallots corn kernels and sour cream at end but it didn't really need the cream. Didn't add chilli. Great with high quality multi grain sour dough bread.

I made this with one change. I omitted the frozen corn and used an 8 oz can of baby lima beans, drained. I then added the lima beans to the potato/cauliflower mix that was pureed. It turned out a little green but was wonderful! Thanks for the posting. Lee
