Soooooup.
It is so easy and simple to prep the ingredients for this warm, comforting soup.
As you know, I love anything spiced with curry, so I knew I would love this vegetarian recipe from the NYTimes’ “Recipes for Health” series.
Sometimes after a weekend of eating heavily, I just want to detox with something fresh, healthy, low-calorie and delicious.
This curried cauliflower soup does just the trick.
Even Mr. Peaches slurped it all down!
And as with most soups, this tastes even better the next day.
Thanks for tuning in! Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!

1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
