Soup on Sunday: Miss Amy's Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

Nothing is better on a chilly fall day than a rich and filling bowl of soup. One problem with rich and filling creamy soups is that they're typically high in calories and fat, so I set out to attempt to fix that. Here's my first attempt (it was delicious!)

Cast of Characters:

• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/3 Cup green onions (only the tops)
• 2 Cups vegetable broth
• 1 16oz bag of frozen cauliflower, thawed
• 1 1/2 Cups skim milk
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

Directions:

1. In large saucepan, saute onions until tender.
2. Add in vegetable broth and cauliflower. Cover and simmer on high for 12 minutes or until cauliflower is very tender.
3. Stir in milk and cheddar cheese. Cook until cheese is melted (this shouldn't take very long at all).
4. Pour contents into a blender along with the Greek yogurt and puree. Be sure to occasionally release the steam.
5. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and/ or chives.
