Thanks

Did you check Linda's website? Here's the link to it:

This is a recipe that I found on this board and that I use:

Cream of anything soup
Ingredients

2 cups cauliflower (trust me on this!!)
1 small onion or 0.5 of a large one
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic (optional)
0.25 of a sweet red pepper
2 cups of "anything" (this can be mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, turnip, leeks - basically any veggie you want)
2 pints of stock (a sugar free stock cube is fine)
1 oz (0.25 stick) of butter

Put the stock on to boil and put the cauliflower and the "anything" into it. In a pan melt the butter and gently saute the onion, celery, pepper and garlic (you don't want to brown them, just soften them) for about 5 mins. Add to the stock.

Simmer the water/veg for about 20 minutes or until veg is soft. Don't overcook - it makes everything go bland. Zap in a food processor. Thin with some more water if it's too thick for you (it'll depend what your 'anything' is!). Season to taste and eat!!

The cauliflower already gives this soup a lovely creamy texture, but you can add a dollop of cream before eating if you like. Some garnishes that work well if you want to make it even more yummy include:

With Mushroom: Chopped parsley or chives, chopped walnuts or hazelnuts.
With broccoli: grated cheddar cheese
With leeks or turnip: fried bacon bits
With Asparagus: lemon juice and black pepper

You end up with 5-6 generous portions of soup with this recipe.

The whole recipe, minus the "anything", has 14 net carbs, so around 3 per serving. You need to add the carbs for the additional veg you use - it generally totals around 5 carbs or so per serving - and of course for any garnishes you use.

Thank you both so much the recipe liv is great thank you, was getting a bit bored on induction lol, but with your recipe and linda's web page thanks georgiana which is fantastic I can't wait to start some cooking. Liv do you think a chicken stock cube like oxo would be ok for the stock. Thank you all so much. Ally

Yes Linda's page is great. People also share recipes in our recipe section on the board. And you can find some good ones there too.
I am a little bit skeptical about those oxo cubes though - usually have a lot of wheat and sugar and are high carbish. You have to look at the ingredient list and see what it says. I usually make soup with canned stock.
