Healthier Potato and Cauliflower Soup image

This recipe is the result of my desire to lighten one of my favorite comfort foods: potato soup. Cauliflower adds bulk and nutrition while the potato keeps the strong flavor of the cauliflower from overwhelming the dish.

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups chopped cauliflower
4 cups fat-free chicken broth

  • Bring pureed soup to a simmer; cook until consistency is smooth and flavors are blended, about 30 minutes. Adjust salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.
