I’ve been on a slight health kick lately.My salad is a sure shot way to a get those essential vitamins and with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, its not a bad idea to eat healthy, so that a little bit of indulgence on the day itself will not hurt.
That brings me to this amazing soup.I love Cauliflower and anything that has anything to do with Cauliflower.Its my most favorite vegetable and I cook it all the time.I’m so glad that my kids and the hubs are also with me on this one.With the temperatures being the way they have,I’ve been making soups for dinner.I find them very comforting, very easy for weeknights and you can have different variations without sounding monotonous.
This soup is inspired by my Carrot and Coriander Soup and I’ve substituted carrots for cauliflower and added some spinach for extra nutrition and color.The coriander gives it just a hint of spice in the background, while the creamy cauliflower and spinach work their own magic.The soup comes together with a splash of light cream at the end and couldn’t be any easier.Scoop it with a crusty bread and enjoy!

Soni, I love cauliflower too and your soup in these gorgeous photos looks ah-may-zing! How did you manage to photograph soup this beautifully?! I always have a problem with that. I can’t wait to try this. It’ll be the perfect meal on these cold winter nights.
