Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup warmed low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Set a steamer basket in a saucepan with 2 inches simmering water. Add cauliflower; cover and steam until very tender, 18 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor and season with salt and pepper. Add broth and process until smooth, scraping down side as needed (add more broth for a thinner consistency, if desired).
