Twice Baked Cauliflower Soup


This is SUPER easy and low carb because it uses no flour. It tastes just like a twice baked potato with NO CARBS! My husband HATES cauliflower, and he has no idea this soup is all cauliflower.... he thinks he was eating potatoes....heee heeee

Microwave 1 head cauliflower and 1 large onion on high for 20 minutes.
Cut up and put in blender.

Add :
1 can evaporated milk {can substitute milk,or cream also}
1/2 cup water
1/2 stick butter
2 T chicken bouillon
1/4 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

 Blend on high until smooth 3 to 5 minutes, add enough  extra water to just get it to move  freely.
Serve heated in a bowl with croutons, cheese, chives, bacon, sour cream or whatever toppings you choose.

In lieu of croutons I love "Toasted Crackers". Simply put a sleeve of saltine crackers (although any type of cracker could be used) into an ungreased cast iron skillet and placed it in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. This gives the crackers "a nice toasted, roasted flavor". Very true and super easy! Toasted Crackers are great with any soup but also add extra flavor when used with appetizers and dips
