Creamy Cauliflower Soup

This was one of the first dishes that I made with cauliflower that my whole family liked. I felt like I won a battle! This soup is so good and creamy that it is requested as often as my potato soup!

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp unbleached flour (all purpose is fine too)
• 1 medium head cauliflower – chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 4 cups fat free chicken broth (vegetarians can use vegetable broth)
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter on low heat. Add the flour and stir about 2 minutes.

Add the chicken broth, onions and cauliflower and set heat to medium. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over medium-low heat until vegetables are tender (about 20 minutes.)

Puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
