Ingredients: 1 medium head of cauliflower , about 600 - 700g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb (Note 1); Low Cal Creamy Soup Broth:; 500g / 1 lb zucchinis (2 large), peeled and cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" slices; 1 large onion , roughly chopped (brown, white, yellow); 2 garlic cloves , whole; 2 cups (500 ml) vegetable or chicken broth; 2 cups (500 ml) water; 1 cup (250 ml) 0% fat milk (or other milk of choice); 1/2 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder (or 1 tsp of one of them); Pinch black pepper; Soup:; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 garlic clove , minced; 1 onion , chopped (brown, white, yellow); 2 large carrots , cut into 1.25cm / 1/2" pieces; 3 celery sticks , cut into 3/4cm / 1/4" slices; 2 red capsicum / bell peppers , cut into 1 cm / 2/5" pieces; 500g / 1 lb zucchinis (2 large), peeled and cut into 1.25cm / 1/2" slices; 1 tsp dried thyme (or other herb of choice); Salt and pepper; Finely chopped parsley , optional garnish

1. Cauliflower - diameter of about 25 cm / 10", about the size of a basketball ( <-- The weird way I measure veggies!). Don't get too hung up about accuracy of size, there's flex in this recipe in terms of soup thickness.

You could also use 500g / 1 lb frozen cauliflower florets - reserve about 1/4 for the soup and use the rest for the broth. Cook from frozen, use per recipe.

2. Liquid won't cover veggies - that's fine, it gets jostled about when boiling and also steams.

3. Work in batches if your blender is on the small size. Also, stick blender will work here but because it's not as powerful, the soup won't be quite as silky smooth. Also, I suggest cooking the vegetables for an extra 5 minutes to make them even softer.

4. STORAGE: This keeps very well in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes very well!

5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 6 servings (about 2 heaped cups, one generous sized bowl which is filling).
