Cream of Mushroom Soup

Prep Time:  35 Min

2 cups cauliflower -- chopped

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup carrot -- sliced very thin

1/4 cup celery -- sliced thin

1/4 cup onion -- diced

1/2 cup cream

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

2 cups button mushrooms -- sliced

1/2 clove garlic -- minced (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

 

1. In a 2 1/2 quart pot, combine cauliflower, broth, onion, carrot, and celery. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender -- about 15 minutes.

2. Remove from heat, add cream and water; stir to combine. Pour 1/2 the mixture into a blender and process until smooth; pour into a bowl. (Cover lid of blender with a towel and hold down so the heat of the mixture will not blow the top of the blender off and burn you!)

3. Continue with the remaining mixture; set aside. Using the same saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until hot and bubbly; add the mushrooms and garlic; sauté until lightly browned.

4. Add puréed vegetable mixture and parsley to mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until soup is thoroughly heated; 2 to 3 minutes Do not boil, as the cream may curdle.
