Cream of Cauliflower
One of the things I love about soups is how easy it is to hide a bunch of healthy ingredients in a dish that tastes really indulgent. Even if you aren’t a fan of cauliflower (as I once wasn’t), give this one a shot. I assure you that not only will you fall in love, but this may just become your go-to soup.

Recipe Notes

JEFF’S TIP: If you want a thick, totally pureed soup with minimal texture, don’t remove any cauliflower before pureeing.
