Sometimes the simple things in life are the best
Like a warm, comforting bowl of a thick, creamy, delicious tasting, very healthy soup
This gorgeous cauliflower soup has a just a touch of curry powder, along with some fresh turmeric, which lifts it to a whole new level
there’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties in this yummy soup!
And some ‘creaminess’ from cashews
quick to make and deeelicious!
This is my latest short-on-time, quick and easy soup made with my current favourite seasonal vegetable, the mighty cauliflower
a mighty fine organic cauliflower
I hope you love it as much as we did!
mmmmm….photos done, I get to tuck in now!
