This is great and practically points-free!
2 medium potatoes, chopped
5 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 medium head cauliflower, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, whole (or more to taste)
1 cup frozen/fresh corn (fresh of course is best!)
1 large sweet pepper, diced
in a large pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. add potatoes and cook until almost done. add cauliflower, continue to simmer until very well done.
in the meantime, over medium-low heat, saute onions and garlic cloves in oil/butter, until very well done (then you can mash the garlic with a fork). add onion/garlic mixture to soup pot.
at this point, to get a thick creamy soup, puree the mixture in a food processor (i used my hand blender), or you could leave it as it is for a more "watery" soup. Add corn and sweet pepper. season with salt/pepper to taste; heat through. makes about 10 cups.
Points? well, very negligible!
low-sodium chicken stock is 1 point per can, so that's 2 points for 10 cups of soup.
cauliflower/onion/garlic/red pepper = 0 points
2 potatoes = 6 points
1 1/2 tbsp oil/butter = 3 points
total = 11 points for about 10 cups.
enjoy!
