Diet Cauliflower Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups of cauliflower florets (smaller pieces)
2 carrot sticks chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
2 red potatoes diced
1 small onion finely chopped
2-3 tbsp of finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp of flour
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh paprika paste or if not available use ½ teaspoon red paprika powder

Tip:

If you do not have any chicken broth handy or in the freezer just substitute it for water and add 2 chicken bouillon cubes for flavor.

Preparation:

In a soup pot, add the oil and turn the stove on medium heat.

Add all the veggies except the parsley. Sauté for about 5 minutes mixing the vegetables gently until they are softer and translucent.

Now add the flour and mix it in with the sautéed vegetables. This is a really quick way of thickening your soup without adding any extra fat.

Now add in the broth, water and spices. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until veggies are tender to your liking.

You can check if the vegetables are done by piercing them with a fork. When done, remove from heat. Now stir in the parsley.

Makes 4 -6 servings

Who thought that homemade soups could be whipped up so quickly?

Enjoy and have fun trying different combinations of vegetables for your soups.
