Creamy Cauliflower Soup (Without Cream!)

Happy Tuesday! So I just got back from a walk with my puppy Luna who is teething and my fingers are bleeding as I write this post. Please tell me this is normal for a puppy?! I was also texting a trainer while I was on the walk and he told me I need to start bringing bitter apple spray on our walks so she stops biting me and the leash. She can be the sweetest little puppy, but she can also be a little terror! We decided sometimes we should call her Lunatic instead of Luna…

Anyways, on to the recipe…so I made this soup last week and I'm finally getting around to posting the recipe! It is by far one of my favorite soups to make all fall and winter long. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do! It seriously tastes SO creamy. You will definitely be surprised when you taste it that there is no cream in the recipe.  It comes from the same friend that shared the Brussels sprouts salad recipe with me :) 
 
Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower 
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 small or medium onion

• 1 quart of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese 

Directions:

1. Cook onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes on medium-high heat
2. Add in cauliflower and chicken stock and bring to a boil
3. Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes 
4. Add ingredients into a blender (adding a little at a time) with the cheese and blend until creamy texture 
5. Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
