Could someone get back to the recipe please hahaha.
I will make the decision about what fat I want to put in the soup, I'm a big girl and can make those types of decisions.
But where do I find the recipe???
It sounds delicious

It's in the OP although I could think of far less calorie dense ways to make delicious soup out of cauliflower

You want to weigh the finished product then divide it by, for example, 100g, to give you the number of serving sizes.1

It's boiled cauliflower,onion, garlic, and spices (usually one head) to taste I boil it until it's soft and most of the water is gone then I add a small carton of Heavy Cream (45 cal per tablespoon) in there then I blender it in the blender.

It's kind of in the OP but "a small tub" of "heavy cream". How big a tub and what is Heavy Cream. I don't think we call it that in the UK. Could it be Double cream?0

Without the heavy cream, this would be a fat-free soup. Depending on what else OP is eating, she may need the fat to meet her nutritional requirements. And the fat will promote satiety much more than a blend of vegetables.
I just don;t think heavy cream is the good source of fat. You can definitely get a good quality fat from avocados, nuts, coconut oil etc
I understand you think that fat from dairy should be avoided, but that isn't something that people agree on across the board.
We aren't sure what OP means by healthy or what kind of plan she is trying to follow. If you're trying to eliminate fat from dairy and that is your definition of healthy, yeah. This soup wouldn't meet those requirements. But not everyone is on that type of plan and not everyone defines "healthy" that way.
Yeah I don't think people don't really understand the impact of meat and diary products to their health and weight loss in this forum. And I get hate comments sometimes because I encouraged to eat healthy fat from avocados, nuts etc.
I've not seen any hate, but you get disagreement because you have some rather peculiar ideas about the utility of fat in a diet, and seem to apply a "one size fits all" approach to advising people to do things which aren't necessarily backed up by legitimate sources.
I am not sure why you would say my advices weren't backed by legitimate sources. You should definitely check out the documentary: Forks Over Knives. Many people aren't aware of why they are gaining weight or are overweight. And anything against their notions built from distorted facts, they get frustrated and they can't alter their health issues hence stay overweight.
Forks over knives is full of unadjusted data from the ridiculous China Study
On a scale of legitimate from 0-10, it ranks around -2
When you use the word "legitimate" and phrase "distorted facts" you may wish to have a little more solid source than a mockumentary
If the documentary is not good enough source for you,
it shouldn't be good enough for anyone
I could link scientific studies you can read.
please do, once you have please read the link, and the associated papers in the post above yours. I tried to ensure you had an easy read response to your mockumentary
I thought the documentary would be good enough for you to get the idea of what I am saying. Also, I am sorry also to offend you with a "mockumentary" since you are the expert how to stay healthy and at a healthy weight, I didn't think this wasn't scientific enough.
oh I'm no expert, I'm merely interested...I have learned enough not to trust anything that is hyper palatable though and to try to trawl through to the base source ...there's an awful lot of money in the health and weight loss industry..I find it best not to buy into it
And also keep up with your beliefs, I am not trying to change your beliefs since for some people it can be difficult to comprehend.
my beliefs are in science, so they will change ..they aren't in beautifully marketed opinion pieces with easily disputed source material, neither should yours or anyone's be ....caveat emptor
I can't change peoples' distorted notions and their frustration to other people who has the other opinion than theirs'.
you can open your mind and do some reading
Since all the current "facts" seem to work in North America; that's why 2/3 of age 20 above Americans are overweight. But again, that's your choice, your life, your weight and health after all.
North Americans are overweight because they eat too much and move to little. There are many societal factors that make it easy to do and actually hard not to do..but there's no great conspiracy
You seem concerned about my life ...it's fab thanks
my weight...I'm at goal and in maintenance and have been for quite a while
and my health...all health markers are positive
Thanks for taking the time to do this. But I am going to stop here because I don't need to convince you or try to explain myself, I don't see the point. I've got a early class tomorrow so instead of arguing with people on internet with no credentials (including myself), I should get a good night sleep not to mention it brings me down to a bad mood which I do not need that in my life. You stick to what you believe and good luck. ok then
....so just to check ...you're not going to link the scientific studies0 -
Her cream soup brings all the members to the fourm, ones ticked off because they think their opinions Better than yours.0

This is what you are linking me to? A movie review from a blogger?
Oh I missed this...sorry ..it appeared after I posted
No I linked you to something I thought you might find a palatable and decent read, she's also a vegetarian and raw foodist so I thought you might relate
Because science can be quite dry
Also her original debunking of The China Study was extremely well put together and received
If you actually read it you will see that she relates it all back to the original studies and complementary pieces which rounds out her piece nicely and allows you to judge what she's saying from the actual source material0 -

I don't know what happened here, but regarding the original topic, I use a few recipes that use potatoes or white beans in place of heavy cream. They taste different than the traditional versions, but are still good in their own way. Cooking with heavy cream can really rack up the calories, but is often worth every one. I like the suggestions for light coconut milk, halving with stock, or using half and half as well. Lots of yummy ways to get creative in this thread.2

Isn't potatoes a big no-no nowadays?1

I've heard it a bunch. "Potatoes are bad for you"
I love potatoes myself but I try to stay away from
them.1 -

Best to forget about all the trendy "no-no"s. Aim for calories and balanced nutrition. Potatoes are filling, and have some nutrition to them. There's not need to cut them out unless you are allergic, or don't like them. They are fantastic in soups. I have a great potato-leek soup that is delicious.1 -

Oh that soup does sound good! Thanks for the insight I'll have to start eating potatoes again.
