easy cauliflower Alfredo soup

[Marthe48]

1 can Prego classic Alfredo sauce (or bacon flavored)
1 can chicken broth (or veggie broth)
1 bag of frozen cauliflower
chopped onion to taste

Makes about a quart of soup

You can roast the cauliflower for color and flavor or steam it about 10 minutes in about a cup of water. Add the onion, broth and cheese sauce. Leaving the water in doesn't hurt. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Stir gently until it is not bubbling, cover and let it simmer at least 15 minutes. Serve hot.

I also added some garlic, black pepper and turmeric.

I recently went on a low carb diet because of health and was looking for some new recipes. I made this up because I had all the ingredients and it was cold enough for soup. I usually make my soup from fresh food and leftovers, but needed something quick. I figured it comes in about 12.5 grams of carbs for a 1 cup serving. Not counting calories right now.

1. Thank you.

Im gearing up to start a low carb keto style diet because my doctor said I'm now prediabetic. This sounds like a nice evening meal, easy to make and I bet very tasty.

4. My fasting blood sugar was high

Found out Oct. 1. I thought I had been staying on track, but guess I wasn't. So I have cut down to 100 grams of carbs or less a day. My cholesterol was lower, so I had some play to change my diet until I figure out what I want to eat.

Hope if you try it, you'll like it. I think it'd be good with broccoli too. If you find any recipes, please share

3. My dad's favourite food was cauliflower baked in alfredo sauce. It kind of caramelizes.

8. Thanks!

I forgot to say, I have been getting the Prego at Dollar Tree for $1, broth at Kroger 2/$1 and cauliflower at Kroger $1.19, so it is cheap to make.
