Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner? I had so many Christmas recipes floating around in my head that I was planning to post, but instead, I am posting cream of cauliflower soup. It is not a bad thing, really the soup is yummy.
But it seems every year I tell myself that this is the year that I will get a jump on things and have some great Christmas recipes to share and then the time comes and I am not ready. All I can say is maybe next year.
Making soup during the cold winter months is a big thing for me. There is nothing that is more satisfying for my lunch than a hot bowl of soup. My office that I work in is usually cold, so I look forward to something that will warm me up for lunch.
Yes, I could eat soup every day of the week. It’s hands down one of my favorite things that I love to eat. And some of the soups that I love the best are plain and simple, like this cauliflower soup.
If you are a soup lover like me give this cream of cauliflower soup a try.
