This Cream of Potato and Cauliflower Soup has surprising, “stick-to-your-ribs” power for such a soft, creamy soup. Save yourself some time – and gain some nutrition and fiber – by not peeling the potatoes. The skins will blend nicely into the soup along with everything else.
Any meal that includes one of the cruciferous vegetable, like cauliflower, gets our vote for a superfood meal. Research on cauliflower has linked it to numerous amazing health benefits such as (1) boosting our liver’s ability to detoxify our bodies, (2) fighting off cancer, and (3) boosting the effectiveness of our immune system. Not bad for such a pale vegetable that looks like a brain.
We often serve whole-grain, oil-free crackers on the side.
