Branching Out With Some Recipes


I've decided to branch out a bit. You know I've lost a lot of weight eating a very low-carbohydrate diet. Well, I've also been experimenting with various recipes, and after much tweaking, I have come up with several that I absolutely love.  So I will periodically share them with you here on my blog. I am not a chemist, so I can't provide exact carb counts, etc. However, believe me — if I eat it, it is low-carb!


Low Carb Cauliflower Cheese Soup

1 small white onion, chopped
1 T almond flour
2 cloves of garlic pressed
3 T butter
1 head of cauliflower, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
½ cup sour cream (or more)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¾ cup crumbled bacon (pre-cooked)
3 green onions chopped

In a Dutch oven, sauté white onion and garlic in butter, make a roux with the almond flour, then add cauliflower, chicken stock, and water.
Cook until all veggies are soft, about 20-30 minutes.
Right before serving puree with an immersion blender, stir in all other items, puree a tad more,
heat through, and serve with a bit of cheese on top.
I also added salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg—just for fun! Enjoy!

Serves about 4 people.  :)
