I enjoy making different soups and experimenting with the different herbs. In addition to this, I love my vegetables so this helps as well with my experimentation. Thirdly, it is a great way of incorporating the benefits of all of vitamins of the vegetables in a liquidised form. Makes a change from frying and roasting.
Cauliflower is great in supporting The immune and hormonal system. It is great in flavour when you use the right herbs and seasoning. I also adding spinach and mushrooms for extra flavour, vitamins and iron. It is really a nice and flavoursome soup, don’t be put off.
