Creamy Vegetable ( chicken ) soup. Low Carb.

[achookwoman]

There is no added fat, cream, potato or flour in this soup and yet it is very creamy.
This makes4 cups or 1 litre.

Ingredients
3/4 Litre of vegetable or chicken stock. ( I made chicken by steaming in the basket, the bones from a take away chook).
1/4 of a large cauliflower or 1/2 of a small one. Broken up.
3 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 a Zucchini, cubed into 1/2 inch dice
1 carrot, cubed into 1/2 inch dice
A chicken flavour cube or I used a dessertspoon of Jo's Chichen stock paste.
Cubes of cooked chicken and chopped herbs for garnish ( optional)
Black or white Pepper. I used white.

Method

Cook cauliflower in chicken stock, 15 minutes/ 100/speed 2
Zap 30 seconds, speed 9
Add cubes of vegetables, and pepper, 10 minutes/ 100/speed1 REVERSE.
Add chicken, if using. Garnish with chopped parsley and chives.

Notes
Equally nice made with veggie stock and no chicken.

Made this tonight. It is delicious. I would prefer it a little thicker so next time I would reduce the water or increase the cauliflower.

I read this yesterday, went and made it, then blitz it.
Just gave 2 x 2 lire ice cream containers full to my neighbors up the road.

I keep making them soups as it is easy for me, and easy to eat.
I am about to make more for my Mum and Dad.
Thankyou ACW
