  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place cauliflower florets, chicken broth, Smart Balance, salt and pepper into a large soup pot over high heat until liquid starts to boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and steam for 10-12 minutes or until cauliflower is completely tender when poked with a fork.

Under “ingredients”, is it 2 cauliflower heads broken into florets or 2 cups of florets? Two heads seems like a lot of cauliflower for the rest of the ingredients and 2 cups doesn’t seem like enough.

@Kathy, Smart Balance is a butter spread. We adjusted the ingredient name a bit to make this more clear. Thanks!
