Here’s my low carb version! Cauliflower is an amazing vegetable for people trying to lose weight or need to be on a low carb diet due to medical reasons.

Cbb loves this soup and it’s another way I make sure she eats all her vegetables, not that I’m having a hard time getting her to – she eats everything! I often use this as pasta sauce.. just ladle on top of cooked pasta and serve with meat balls for a complete meal. I use my $49 panasonic handheld blender for this. It’s really one of the most-used tools in my kitchen apart from my airfryer. How often do you make soups like this? Do you have a favourite blender to recommend?
