[recipe re-post] Creamy Cauliflower Soup

[Guest guest]

i forgot to re-post this cauliflower soup recipe yesterday

for Denise. It is a fairly recent one that i tried out of a

Savor The Flavor of Oregon cookbook. It is so good.

Also, i didn't puree all of the cauliflower mixture since

i wanted some texture in the soup, but i am sure it would

be good done exactly as written as a smooth soup.

 

Creamy Cauliflower Soup

 

2 cups water

1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbs. margarine

2 Tbs. flour

1 cup no-chicken broth [imagine brand]

1/2 tsp. celery salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 cup milk at room temperature

Freshly ground nutmeg

Fresh parsley sprigs

 

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a 3 quart saucepan.

Add cauliflower, reduce heat, cover pan and simmer

until cauliflower is tender (about 10 minutes).

Pour entire contents into a blender and puree until

smooth. Melt margarine in a saucepan and saute

onion until soft; add garlic and cook for 3 more minutes.

Add flour to the saute and stir to blend. Slowly add broth,

bring to a boil and stir constantly for one minute.

Stir in the cauliflower mixture, celery salt and pepper;

heat just to boiling. Reduce heat, gradually add soy milk.

Cook until soup is heated through. Do not boil. Sprinkle

each serving with fresh nutmeg and garnish with sprig

of parsley.

Yield: about 8 servings
