Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Warming you up from the inside out.

It's getting even colder now! I realize that California's definition of "cold" is anything but; that being said, the change from sweltering summers to cold-ish winter mornings is noticeable for sure. Which makes it the perfect weather for stuff like this.

In my family, we usually eat soup made of pureed mixed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and squash. But sometimes, the weather calls for something more filling, more satisfying than a watery soup, ya know?

Enter(drumroll, please), this cauliflower soup! Made with potatoes, onions, and of course cauliflower, it's a filling, warm delight for a winter meal. Toast some bread on the side, and you've got an unbeatable combo.
