Creamy Cauliflower soup? Sounds a little odd, doesn’t it? Well yes. Yes it does. Cauliflower is an interesting staple to add to your low carb diet. Cauliflower soup isn’t totally unlike Cream of Broccoli Soup or Creamy of Potato Soup. You can turn any or all vegetables into some sort of soup, and it’s pretty easy to disguise cauliflower if you add enough supplemental ingredients.
Nutrition Info for Cauliflower
1 serving of cooked or raw cauliflower is 1 cup, or 100 grams. So in my mind, when you add supplemental ingredients like carrots, celery, onion and seasonings, really it becomes a major source of protein. 1 head of cauliflower is has 4-6 servings, therefore 8-12 g. When you consider the other vegetables, 2 cups of my Creamy Cauliflower Soup has X grams of protein!
