Ingredients

  • 1 lb roughly chopped cauliflower florets about 6 cups
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth may sub vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese more if desired
  • 1 ounce low-fat cream cheese more if desired

Instructions

  • Bring broth to a simmer and add cauliflower. Cover pot with lid. Cook until tender, stirring/smashing occasionally, (about 5-6 mins). Drain cauliflower over a bowl to reserve broth and add cauliflower to food processor or blender. Add onion and salt. Return pot to stove and heat olive oil. Add garlic and saute on medium-low heat until fragrant and soft, 30-60 seconds. Add garlic and all oil from pan into cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup reserved broth, and cheeses. Process until smooth. Add salt and liquid to taste.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust cheese and seasonings to your liking. It's a very flexible sauce; adjust until you find the right mix for you!
