2 heads of cauliflower (boiled, steamed or even roasted for more flavor - I roasted mine sprinkled with garlic powder on a cookie sheet in the oven 15 minutes on one side at 400 degrees then flipped and roasted for 10 minutes more - between you and me, my 7 year old said, "I am NOT eating that cauliflower! I don't like it"...little did he know, I snuck it into the blender and he ate a decent portion of it without even knowing. hee hee ;)
4 cups chicken broth/stock
1/2 raw onion
1 cup enchilada sauce (I made my own with blended home-grown/bottled tomatoes and chili powder. The canned stuff contains added sugars and modified food starch)
Salsa to taste
Ground cumin to taste
Cilantro to taste (you can add this to the blender if you prefer)
Cooked shredded/diced chicken breast (I cooked mine in the crock pot all day and added the chicken later to individual bowls to ensure the proper weighted amount for me)
Blend the first 3 ingredients in a blender. In the meantime, add remaining ingredients to large pot. Add blended mixture to pot. Boil 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally til pureed onion is no longer raw. Then reduce to a simmer till ready to serve. Add chicken. I added brown rice to my kids bowls so they felt more full. I mushed my avocado and added it to my bowl. Serve with a salad or your favorite fresh or steamed veggies on the side. It makes enough for a family of 5 and then some...I froze the rest for a future easy meal.
