Roasted Cauliflower Soup - 14.6g Carbs, 5.9g Fiber, 6.6g Sugar
From: www.elanaspantry.com
Cauliflower is one of my favorite foods. A cruciferous vegetable, it is full of anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds and healthy fiber. Soup is good food. Especially healthy soup made with a mere five ingredients. This quick and easy Roasted Cauliflower soup recipe is one that I found in a recent issue of Bon Appetit. Except their recipe had butter and heavy cream; I've de-Paula Deened this recipe so that it is the pure delicious essence of a vegetable without all kinds of unnecessary other ingredients and flavors.
1 large head cauliflower
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp celtic sea salt
1 large onion, diced
4 cups water or stock
