    When I cook the cauliflower, I use fat free chicken broth instead of water. Gives it more flavor without having to add too much salt.

    Great idea-- I'll try that next time!

    Do you suppose steaming the cauliflower instead of boiling it would work too? I tend to use my steamer more often for the convenience of it. Thanks!

    Absolutely! It should work as well-- or better.

    Let me know how you make out!

    Lots of folks have their own version of this tasty dish but all the ones I've seen use sour cream or butter or some other higher calorie ingredient to get the creaminess needed to make it yummy.

    Here is how I make it (it's a favorite in our household):

    1) Boil a whole head of cauliflower together with 1/2 a chopped onion until the cauliflower is VERY soft.

    2) Drain thoroughly and mash with the back of a tablespoon until "chunky-smooth."

    3) Add any of the following (choose one-- each works well): 1/2 can of Campbell's Healthy Request Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup OR 1/2 can of Campbell's Condensed Cream of Celery Soup OR 3/4 cup of plain yogurt. Mix well with your trusty tablespoon.

    4) Heat in microwave until piping hot.

    5) Season to taste. I use "butter buds," garlic powder, salt/pepper, oregano, basil-- sometimes even chili powder. Use this opportunity to calm any craving you've got (salt, spicy, etc.) by adding it to the final dish.

    It serves 4 and is only 65 calories per serving.

    If you're starving and choose to eat 2 servings yourself I promise that you will be so stuffed you won't snack until your next meal.

    Let me know how you make out!

    Hmm, I'll have to try this version! Mine usually just involved a head of cauliflower, a few tablespoons of margarine, and a few tablespoons of sour cream, with some garlic powder/basil/pepper mixed in there, and it's pretty good that way, too. Only about 60 calories a serving, and the ONLY way I can eat cauliflower!

    I think I boiled the cauliflower too long. Didn't come out good at all.
