Cauliflower Soup
"Like most European countries, Scandinavians don’t eat one big dish they instead spread out their meal with small ones. But in their case, they usually pick a soup to start (which fills you up), then and only then move on to a fish or meat dish. Try this hearty, low cal option. This is a Weight Watchers recipe. Enjoy!"

Nice, silky-smooth cauliflower soup. I like that it's not loaded with fat and cheese. I made this as written, using butter in place of margarine. The nutmeg garnish was a nice touch. I did find it just a little bland, or "mild" in flavor, but that works for a starter soup for a big meal. Still, I think I'd add some other herbs and spices next time. Thanx for sharing! -
Great way to use up cauliflower. We used purple cauliflower, and the dish had a very vibrant hue. very tasty. made for zwt6 -
What a very nice soup, the grating of nutmeg on top was a very nice touch. DH has asked me to make this kind of soup in the past and I just never got round to it. It was very creamy and it had a lot more flavour than I thought cauliflower soup would have. I used butter also, I don't use marg. I think I will be making this one again. Thank you for posting. Made for ZWT#6 2010

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
