    Creamy Cauliflower Soup

    It's about time you met this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe. It's rich and indulgent but no much that it weighs you down.
    My husband finished the leftovers without checking with others if they wanted some.
    My daughter described it as "it's like a warm blanket after being outside on a stormy winter day.

    Creamy Cauliflower Soup

    I wanted this soup to be creamy, full of flavor and with some texture.
    Not everyone in this household likes Cheese so I made use of Coconut Milk.
    All in all it's a feel good soup.

    The ingredients you will need for this Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe:

    Cauliflower Soup Prep

    Cauliflower, a lot of it. Roasting these florets in the pan lends a smokiness to it
    Onion and Garlic form a savory base layer. We are blending it all up so no need to chop finely.
    Celery - Adds body and a slightly oniony flavor
    Vegetable Broth or water, brings it all together. i always buy only Organic Broth.
    Bay leaf, Marjoram, Thyme, impart flavors
    Potato, Peeled and cooked until tender. It lends a creamy texture to the soup
    Coconut Milk, adds a superbly creamy texture and tiny hint of sweetness
    Salt and Pepper, duh!!
