Preparation

Step 1

Set a pot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor (this is what I did), puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, chicken base and pepper until almost smooth.

Garnish with chives and serve hot with pats of butter.
