#2

1 ½  pounds cauliflower, cut into large florets (about 8 cups)

3 garlic cloves peeled

2 (14 0z) cans lower-sodium chicken broth

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tbs chopped fresh chives

In a large saucepan, combine cauliflower, garlic, and broth.  If

Cauliflower is not completely covered by broth, add water to just cover.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes.

Reserve 2 tbs of the cooking liquid, then drain cauliflower and garlic.  Transfer cauliflower and garlic to food processor and process until smooth, pulsing in some or all of the reserved cooking liquid, if necessary, to moisten mixture.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Just before serving, stir in chives.
