A soup that vegetarians and waistline-watchers alike will love! I came across this recipe for a puréed vegetable soup in a Belgian magazine and loved it—give it a try! It's a wonderfully tasty, light puréed soup that comes together fast and easy, especially good if you're counting calories and looking to drop a couple of pounds. It's also a perfect fit for anyone who prefers vegetarian fare.

    Step 10:

  • First, rinse the cauliflower and remove the green leaves—for this soup we only want the florets. Peel the zucchini, then cut the flesh into cubes. Set a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil, then add the zucchini and cauliflower and cover with a lid. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Then rinse the vegetables and press them through a fine sieve, transfer to a pot, and bring to a boil—or, instead of sieving, simply purée them in a blender. Season with salt. Ladle the puréed soup into portions, adding to each a pat of butter and a mixture of hot milk whisked with egg yolk. The creamy cauliflower soup is ready—dig in!
