Cream of Cauliflower soup

Just cauliflower soup would not be a complete low carb meal, so you need to add some proteins. I like to add grilled chicken or ham. You can also sprinkle some cheese over your soup, add meat balls, fried bacon or whatever else you’d like.

1 head cauliflower
chicken-flavored bouillon
7 dl (3 cups) of water
3 dl (1 1/3 cup) of heavy cream
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt & pepper
1-2 tablespoons of butter
3 tablespoons of chives

Break the cauliflower into flowerets and cook it in bouillon water until tender. Put cauliflower, water and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor to mash the cauliflower. Put the soup back into the saucepan and heat.

Some alternative ingredients you may like to add to your soup: onion, two tablespoons of lemon juice and 1-2 cloves of garlic.

I personally prefer not to mash the cauliflower and keep pieces of cauliflower in the soup, so I often use locust bean gum to thicken the soup.
