Re: Soups, anyone?
Wed, January 10, 2007 - 3:39 PMTry any reasonable Boston clam chowder recipe, but leave out the potatoes and use cauliflower instead.
Use about 1/2 cut into potato-like chunks and puree half to thicken the soup.
Love it in the winter.... -

Mon, January 22, 2007 - 12:04 PMLast night my BF had a craving for some kind of soup. I tried to recall the recipe here and ended up making a version of it mixing cream cheese + water and blending it with the some of the cauliflower. It turned out great. Thanks for posting your version here or I would have never thought about it. haha. :) -

It's a good soup and pretty low carb, but I doubt it is very induction friendly. I tend to go into ketosis pretty easily, but others may not with this kinda treat. Heavy cream is low carb in small amounts, but using a pint, it adds up. If you are in induction, consider backing off of the heavy cream to a cup.
Also, you can fry up some bacon, remove and crumble, saute your gr onions in the oil and then return the crumbled bacon to the chowder with the last few ingredients. TASTY!!!

Sun, June 1, 2008 - 11:12 AMWhen I was on the diet, I would buy canned clams and a bottle of clam juice, spice it up with some rooster hot sauce and throw some wakame seaweed into the mix for a yummy, comforting clam soup!
