I seen this recipe on http://weight-watchers-points-recipes.blogspot.com and it sounded so good. I have a head of cauliflower at home, so timing is perfect. Will let you know how it turns out.

Servings: 4 servings • Time: 20 minutes • Points: 1 ww point

1 tbsp butter
2 tsp unbleached flour
1 head cauliflower - chopped
1/2 cup chopped onions
4 cups fat free chicken broth (vegetarians can use vegetable broth)
salt and pepper to taste

In a medium saucepan, make a rue by melting the butter on low heat. Add flour and stir about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, onions and cauliflower and set heat to medium. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 minutes.) Puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
