This is an old Weight Watchers Recipe – 0 points … seems to fit with 17-day diet. Kind of time intensive, but well worth it:

1 head cauliflower
2 crowns broccoli
4 carrots
1 yellow onion
1 leek
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic
6-8 cups chicken broth

Finely chop all veggies and garlic
Saute celery, onion, garlic, and leek with Cooking Spray in non-stick skillet. Set aside
Place cauliflower in large stock pot and use just enough broth to cover. Boil until soft.
Remove cauliflower with slotted spoon and place in food processor; process until smooth (this is what makes it creamy)
Place celery, onion, garlic and leeks in stock pot with remaining veggies and broth and cook until tender
Remove veggies with slotted spoon and add to cauliflower in food processor
Puree in batches until smooth.

I’ve made similar and if you want that creamy taste just add yogurt or sour cream.. :D

Sounds like a meal coming up!  I just received an immersion blender for a Christmas gift – now I get to try it out!

I love having recipes like this on hand for those times when I crave “something”? A full tummy seems to overcome it. And, a soup like this fits the spot! I can hardly wait to make it…A little change from plain vegi soup! Thanks

What do you do with all of the chicken broth?
