"I've finally found a way to make a wonderfully creamy mushroom soup without the extra calories. I'm obsessed with mushrooms right now and this recipe is loaded with them, and big mushroom flavor. The unique base of this soup is blended cauliflower which makes for a thick stock and no need for flour to thicken. Even with the half and half, each 2 cup serving is only 88 calories."

<p>I love to create my own signature dishes, I have a few that my friends and family request at gatherings. I adore East Indian cuisine.. hands down, my favorite food, though the flavor profile doesn't seem to be a part of my creative process very often when I'm concocting a meal/recipe. I'm a self employed single mom with a beautiful, kind daughter. Being able to set my own work hours has made it possible for me to devote a substantial amount of time raising her. It also allows me a little extra time in the kitchen, a place I pretend to be a master chef. a la cuisine!!</p>
