do most of you think califlower and spinach are some of the more tolerated vegtables? I was thinking to puree this and serve with pasta,rice or over a potato..I only have a blender,not immersion blender,and no idea what that is...I bought a bag of all natural spinach for less than $2 and was going to put it on a pizza with some soy cheese and chicken..but there would be lots of spinach leftover so I thought why not make this.

This heart-healthy soup gets its creaminess from cauliflower instead of high fat cream. Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and it becomes vegetarian.

Cauliflower blended in this way makes it a lot safer. So have with some good SF and it should be fine.
An immersion blender goes right in the pot which makes blending soups really easy. When you don't have one (they are cheaper than regular blenders much of the time) you can use a regular blender but be careful when putting the hot soup into the blender and do it in batches.
