CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Makes 2 servings; about 2½ cups

You’ll be amazed how much rich and creamy texture the nonfat milk in this recipe will provide.

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 small head cauliflower, broken into florets

1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup nonfat milk

Salt and white pepper, to taste

Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Combine the onion, cauliflower, and broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, for about 15 minutes.

Transfer the soup to a food processor and puree. Return to the saucepan and add the milk. Heat until hot and season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Ladle into two bowls and top with chives.
