Wow! Thanks for all the interest in this recipe, folks! I love to cook and I've redesigned all of my recipes to cut out the calories without cutting out the taste. I'll have to post a few more at some point!
I too love to cook!! I have over 200 cook books and several online memeberships for cooking clubs......saddly only a few of them are for my new way of eating.....wish i know how to modify my good old receipes! Thank you!!0 -

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.0

Been making this for 7+ yrs only this is my variation and I use a food processor and my family thinks it's potatoes when I give them gravy.
I don't need the gravy it's so good!
Oh and I use it for shephards pie too!
I think I might try the soup next time for a change. Thanks

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!0

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!
