A simple soup starts by throwing cauliflower, chestnuts, and pears on a roasting pan and throwing it in the oven and then pureeing everything with broth


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florettes
  • 12 chestnuts, pierced in 2 spots with a sharp knife
  • 2 Bosc pears, cored and cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1 (32 ounce) carton fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl toss cauliflower and pears with oil and spread onto 2 large roasting sheets. Add 6 chestnuts to each pan. Roast until cauliflower is golden brown and chestnuts are soft, about 40 minutes.
