Atkins Diet Recipes: Low carb Cauliflower Bisque (IF)

[jigsterify]

Ive made notatoes mash and califlower rice before.... the notatoes if you keep it in the fridge a night or two the smell alone just puts you off before eating it.... let alone the smell that comes out from your rear end if you eat too much lol

[bowulf]

@jigsterify I haven't had that problem, but I'll take your word for it. Honestly I eat my fauxtatoes up to 3-5 days after I have made them, but they don't last much longer than that without someone eating them in my fridge.

[miteeoak]

i roasted the cauliflower first till it was slightly browned with some butter and it adds a great flavor. I top it with cheddar cheese and some bacon bits along with a few chives.

[bowulf]

@miteeoak Those are some good ideas. I try roasting the cauliflower next time I make this recipe.

[projax5000]

I wish you would add the net carb counts on your recipies

[bowulf]

@projax5000 Ummm they are.  Just expand the video description. This one reports:

"Makes about 8 servings.

Nutrition Info: 102 Calories, 6g Fat, 5.8g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 6g Protein"

[Alybist]

If you wanted a snack, would this be better than a small chicken leg (on Induction)?

[bowulf]

@Alybist I am not sure there is a better or worse between the two, but the bisque has a limit on how much you can have (cauliflower and heavy cream) where the chicken leg would not have the same limit. In the amounts allowed , they're both great meals or snacks.

[Troytexas]

Great production effort..super idea. Troy in Texas

[ArchieLovesMe]

This looks good. I need go buy a blender. :)

[bowulf]

@ArchieLovesMe It was low carb that got me back into the kitchen and using my kitchen appliances too.

[JogBird]

I dont get this; all the calories are coming from saturated fat in the cream and butter. Its not enough calories for anyone who is active and its no better than carbs, which you need.

[bowulf]

As for saturated fats and the source of the Calories, I don't see the problems. The problem of sat fats are greatly exagerated, and if you doubt that, check out my cholesterol and heart health video on Atkins.

As for needing carbs, there is no phase of Atkins without Carbs, but if you are saying there aren't enough. I have worked out HIIT, ran full and half marathons, and been extremely healthy on 30-45g per day.

As for the amount of Calories, eat more if still hungry.

[pimpmasterpercy]

hi i was just wondering. how much cauliflower can you eat on the lowcarb diet. Ive been gearing up to start the atkins diet. but I eat a lot. an I eat alot of brocolli and cauliflower. I can eat a bag of brocolli an cauliflower with a problem. is it low enough that You can eat it like your at a buffet. same with the onions. and cabage

[bowulf]

Cauliflower, onion, cabbage, and Broccoli are in the "Other" vegetable category, so 1 cup per day on Induction. When you get to the OWL phase, you can increase your intake to your CCLL. (Watch the OWL video for when that is.)

[ariadneCA]

Hi. I just want to thank you for your posts and your success. I made this recipe for myself and discovered that you're absolutely right, it's comfort food. Yesterday, I was in enormous need of comfort, and I turned to your soup. It worked. I had a successful day. I did not break my diet, did not binge. I've lost about 50 pounds since the first of the year, following Atkins, but keeping it low fat. Your success gives me hope, because I have another 100 to go.

[akinesia]

I just made it and it's delicious. Thanks so much for posting this!

[mo5a]

It sounds tasty! What kind of cream do you use?

[bowulf]

I often use a heavy cream from a local dairy, but in a pinch, I'll buy heavy whipping cream from Wal-mart.

[monteec]

Thanks so much. Your story is really inspirational!

[WeimaranerKisses]

I am making this right now...how much is considered one serving? I am assuming 1 cup cooked?

[bowulf]

The recipe makes about 8 servings, so the Calorie and gram information is per divided piece. It will actually be a little smaller than a cup.

[WeimaranerKisses]

thanks...not trying to be a pain...it is SO good. I think part of my issue is I was overeating and would get so mad and the yo yo dieting wrecked my metabolisim. I read Atkins New Revolution front to back and found where I was messing up. Hope it is salvagable..I am measuring now and teaching myself to recognize hunger and boredom. I was in a bad accident and on crutches for 11 months and develpoed bad habits. Never, ever again.

[monteec]

Thank you so much for these videos. My question for you is, I bought these atkins shakes/bars to begin my induction phase only to find out that they may cause my weight loss to stall. I ended up throwing them out. What is your opinion of these supplement: is it a money making gimic?

[bowulf]

I don't personally agree with bar/shake approach. I have seen too many stall and fail after eating the stuff. It might be good for a once in awhile convenience food, but it shouldn't be an every day thing. I would however count the full amount of carbs against my daily count (not the promoted net effective carbs).

[bumcrumb007]

I just made this soup last night and it's excellent. Great recipe, thanks!!

[kesavamorton]

youre a joke!!

[bowulf]

Grow up!

[NoooBama]

Tried it, It was great thank you

[madoc62]

that looks awesome thanx! cant wait to try it.

[icanoewenonah]

I heard that you had a low carb recipe for pizza but can't find it on youTube.

I love all your other recipes, delish & easy! So am looking forward to trying the pizza recipe (if I can find it!)

[bowulf]

The pizza episode is one of the "lost" episodes or a video whose sound quality was so poor that I couldn't post it. The recipe is pretty simple. It's like 3 eggs, half cup heavy cream, Italian Seasoning, TBS Grated Parm, garlic powder blended well poured over 8 oz of Mozzarella Cheese. Cook for 30 minutes or until light brown.

Cover with no sugar pizza sauce (Ragu) and toppings of choice, and 2-3 oz of cheese.

[darkempressdomain]

nice...gonna try that this week...haven't been on atkins for a while, but need to go back on it...doctors are on my weight again (i'm a diabetic)...but didn't think I could have bisque on atkins...this is so awesome there are vids out there like this...now i have something else i can add to my diet.

thanks buddy.

[melanieydaniella]

an also i was watching the 'living la vida low carb" videos and they said i could use heavy cream with my coffe, can i i mean you are using it in this recipe thats why i remembered

[bowulf]

Yes you can have up to 2 or 3 TBS of cream per day, which this recipe servings are well within. Everything else on the recipe list is also found on the Induction Acceptable Foods List.

[melanieydaniella]

can i eat this while on induction?

[sinnerpeace]

hey kent thanks for the recipes...could include the carb count too?? or is this info somewhere else??

[bowulf]

In the video notes under "more info" it's listed. Here it is:

Makes about 8 servings.

Nutrition Info: 102 Calories, 6g Fat, 5.8g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 6g Protein

[pvonelsner]

When did the myth that Atkins is only bacon and pork rinds. I eat more fresh veggies and whole fresh foods on low carb (atkins) than ever before. Great recipe Kent. I love the fact it freezes well too.

paul

[bowulf]

I haven't tried freezing it yet as it usually departs the house too quickly, but having some ready made in the freezer is a good idea. Thanks for the advice.

As for the myth, I directly attribute it to two things -- people who didn't read the book and did Atkins how they thought it was done, and media people who also didn't read the book. :-)

[mjmuela]

Hey What is a serving. A cup. just wanna be accurate so I can enjoy without thinking I went over board. Thanks for the recipe!!

[bowulf]

It is about 1 cup or 8 fl oz. Thanks for watching.

[CreateHealthWealth]

kent you are the man when it comes to low carb cooking..just started myself and my head hurts but i know it is just temporary... keep the videos coming.... MarkTheMan

[felixyung]

Tried it today...wow...fantastic! So much like potatoes! Yummy!

[bowulf]

I am glad you liked it. It really is one of those perfect low carb recipes.

[2Dymplz]

I just HAD to come back and thank you for this fabulous recipe!!! I added spinach to it and sweet mercy it was awesome!!

thanks so much for sharing. This was quick and really easy to make-it even made the cauliflower not stink :-)

keep the great recipes coming...

[bowulf]

I am really glad you liked it. If you like this one, you will probably also like the fauxtatoes recipe and video that I also posted here. It has a similar flavor, but more closely approximates mashed potatoes.

[felixyung]

What a delicious looking recipe. Will definitely try it very soon.

[lowcarbshow]

Really good job! Will be discussing this later this week in my podcast...

[bowulf]

I am glad you liked it. I look forward to see your show.

[2Dymplz]

Awesome recipe!!!!

I'm going to whip this up tonight-thanks so much for sharing.

[jkaye5011]

Looks Yummy!! Good Job!

[aydensfolks]

Oh u skunk I was gonna make this too!! LOL Its soo good, Ive made it at family dinners and they never knew it wasnt potato! ..... until the gas kicked in! lol

[bowulf]

Hey, I have to make all the simple recipes quick and leave the more difficult recipes for those who actually know how to cook. :-D Even I can't mess up a 4 step recipe.

[quotidianlight]

This really does look good. Thank you

BTW: Look at those arms!!! All that running and working out really shows.

[nicsweed]

I WISH MY HUBBY COOKED AS MUCH AS YOU DO!

[bowulf]

Well, I knew if I wanted to eat well in my previously non-low carb household that I would have to venture out and research for myself. Certainly, my parents and grandparents while excellent cooks and pastry chefs taught nothing on low carb cooking nor did my wife low fat conscious parents. I am just fortunate that others have blazed the trail before me and posted great recipes like this on the web.

[love9boy]

that looks great! thanks for the recipe. I love Linda's website. she should put this video on her recipe page.

[bowulf]

I'd be honored if she did link it, but she gets all the credit for posting the recipe in the first place.

[MissJanieHere]

Looks great!!

[sabrinamusiq]

that looks so delish! so when is dinner? lol! great vid, ya!

[bowulf]

Hey come to Iowa, and I will set up a low carb eating festival.

[eckankar]

this sounds wonderful, Id put some bacon in the recipe, or a bit of ham. Maybe sour cream?? Why not cook this in a pressure cooker, it would take 3 minutes.

[bowulf]

Good suggestion about the pressure cooker, but haven't found enough of reason to purchase one yet. I like the highlight on top of bacon where the flavor hasn't deluded. Another good suggestion I have read is to add Shrimp during the final minutes of boiling.

[need2dosomething]

That looks yummy, thanks for sharing!
