I love soup, I love flavours and I like to eat healthily! I do like kale and I do like cauliflower so this recipe gives me it all. It is a great way to use up that other half of cauliflower as I always find them too big. Souplicious!
Roasting the cauliflower with the spices and onion packs more flavour and is quick and easy to do.
This is healthy but if you want to make a richer soup replace some of the vegetable stock with milk or add some cream before serving, though I find cauliflower does produce a creamy taste and texture without this addition.
Serve with natural yogurt or cream swirled on the top and you can add any fresh chopped herbs of your choice.
