I am one those who likes to have soup all year round, Since soups are not only very nutrient rich but they also help with the digestion and can support our immune system.
Aren’t these good enough reasons to include soup in our diet at least two or three times a week?
Here, I would like to share one of my favourite recipes with you that I am certain you will enjoy. Cauliflower soup is a hearty and comforting dish that is packed with nutrients that can be enjoyed when in season.
This recipe has been modified a bit and I’ve added some spices that I personally enjoy. I’m not sure what is the origin of this creamy soup, however it is believed that it has originated in the mediterranean. Some of the spices in this recipe are not mediterranean, but I guess that the beauty of cooking, you can just be creative with your recipes.
