Cheesy Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Chowder

Hi, friends! Happy Monday! 🙂

I made this amazing soup over the weekend to eat this week and I knew I had to share it with you all. It’s jam packed FULL of veggies, so easy to make and you can even meal prep this ahead of time so it’s an easy lunch or dinner for the week. It has 5 super veggies in this, and is not short on taste. It’s one of those dump and go kind of soup, which you already know are my favs and you can pull this together in about 30 minutes.

I personally love this with a thick piece of crunchy bread. You’re just going to love this soup! Before you go, let me know what your favorite kind of soup is in the comments below and I’ll make it next time!

Hope you all have a good week. Happy cooking! img_5931_jpg-2
