OMG I don't know what made me go on this site today. 


I wanted to share mainly because we it's loaded with protein and we all know how often I am on liquids and purees grrrr.  I have to guard this recipe for fills and my so called episodes.

I can't wait to make this. 

 



























1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, sliced
3 cups chopped cauliflower (about 1 head)
Two 14-ounce cans, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Splenda
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dried basil 
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

In a large saucepan, sauté the garlic and onion in olive oil and butter until soft. Add carrots, cauliflower, broth, Splenda, nutmeg, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add chicken and heat through. In a small bowl combine flour and mil****il smooth. Add to chicken mixture. Bring to a boil and cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Add cream cheese and cheddar. Stir until melted. 

Makes 8 servings.

Thanks Maureen!  I drove by Pier 1 the other and thought of you.  We definitely still have to meet up. I am guessing you are going to busy for the holiday season but maybe one day I will swing by just to say hello
