I’m back on my weekly soup kick! My red dutch oven had the summer off but now that it’s Autumn, it’s back in action.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love soup. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. So, when you love soup that much, it takes some creativity to keep coming up with new soup ideas so you don’t lose interest in it. Today, when I was walking through the supermarket, they had heads of cauliflower on sale for $1. $1!!! So, that is when I decided to make cauliflower soup. It’s such a good vegetable for your body, it’s so inexpensive to use and it’s one of the most versatile vegetables out there (behind zucchini, imho).
Now, I’ve made cauliflower soup before (recipe for it is here), but that was when I was trying to make it taste more like potato leak soup and it wasn’t vegetarian friendly. So today, I’m going to make this 100% vegetarian and it’s going to be delicious!
