Here’s an easy and super quick healthy soup recipe to warm up your winter. It combines cauliflower and butternut squash so you’re getting your potassium and vitamins B6, C and K plus some fiber and folate all in one go.
It’s 21 degrees in Chicago. I wanted to make my creamy dairy-free cauliflower soup recipe but I didn’t have enough cauliflower left. BUT as luck would have it, I just bought a super cute tiny butternut squash at the local market. Done.
This is why I love making soups: you can totally make it up and just make them your own. Butternut squash adds a sweet, nutty flavor to the soup so the resulting cauliflower and butternut squash combination is mild yet layered.
I’m loving making soups an easy and yummy way to eat more plants into our bellies.
Toast up some pine nuts and croutons for an easy crunchy garnish and add a dash of black pepper.
