Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sticks celery chopped
  • 2 small onions chopped finely
  • 1 medium cauliflower removed from stalk and roughly chopped
  • 1 can white beans 1 x 15oz can / 425g
  • 1 vegetable stock cube / bouillon cube made up with 2½ cups / 600ml with hot water
  • 5 sprays of calorie controlled oil such as Pam or Frylight.
  • 2 tbsp bacon bits or 4 no fat bacon medallions
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan heat the olive oil over a low heat.
  • Add the chopped onions, celery and a pinch of salt.
  • Give it a good mix and place the lid on the saucepan and let it cook for 15 minutes or so until the onions and celery have softened.
  • You may need to give it a mix every so often to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan but really it shouldn't stick as it is cooking over a low heat.
  • If you find that it does start to stick to the pan turn down the heat even further and add a little water and stir.
  • Meanwhile cut the head of the cauliflower from the stalk and roughly chop up the florets. You can discard the hard stalk and green leaves.
  • Once the onion and celery has softened, add the chopped cauliflower and the can of drained & rinsed beans to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Cover with the saucepan lid and cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Stir every now and again.
  • Whilst the cauliflower is cooking spray the bottom of a non stick skillet / frying pan with a couple of sprays of calorie controlled oil. Heat for minute and add the bacon medallions. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes turning them every so often. You want the bacon medallions to crisp up but you don't want them to burn! Remove from the heat and break them up /cut them up ready to sprinkle over your soup.
  • Crumble a stock cube/bouillon cube into a jug and pour over 600ml of boiling water. Stir to dissolve.
  • Add the stock to the saucepan of veg and stir.
  • Remove from the heat and pass through a food blender until the soup is creamy and smooth.
  • Place the soup back in the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the soup through prior to serving with a sprinkling of bacon pieces.
  • Enjoy.
