The ingredients for Creamy (but no cream!) Cauliflower and Roasted Garlic Soup are:

3 heads of cauliflower, cut into pieces- mine were medium sized
8 Cups low sodium vegetable, or chicken broth
1 cup diced onions
3-4 whole bulbs of garlic, or about 15 cloves of already roasted garlic
1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 T. olive oil (optional)

Here is how you make Creamy (but no cream!) Cauliflower and Roasted Garlic Soup:

First off get that garlic roasting. Cut the bulbs in half and put them in foil. I roasted the bulbs for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Let them cool and pick out the garlic cloves. If they are too mushy just give the bulb a squeeze- but make sure they are cooled off! Just place garlic aside for now.In a small saut? pan saute onions either in Pam or olive oil* and cook until translucent; 4-5 min. Set aside.In a large stock pot add the chopped up cauliflower. IMPORTANT- Add enough broth to just cover the cauliflower. If you don?t need all 8 cups just use what you need. This MIGHT alter the amount of cups your batch of soup makes.Bring broth and cauliflower to a boil; cover, and lower heat. As soon as the cauliflower is soft- shut off the burner and let cool.In a blender, I used my Vita-Mix- add in roasted garlic, cooked onions, and the drained garbanzo beans. Ladle in 2 scoops of broth from the cooked cauliflower pot. BLEND WELL! Add blended mix to another large stock pot. In batches; ladle in cauliflower & broth and blend until all mixture is in second stock pot.OR throw everything in a crock pot and cooke 4-5 hours until cauliflower is soft. Blend with a hand emulsifier blender til smooth.Taste soup- and add salt or pepper to taste.Serving Size: 14 1-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 14Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NAN111.
