gramsThis delicious soup is warm and comforting and deceptively easy to make.
Although vegan, the rich and smooth creamy texture will fool people into thinking otherwise.
Roasting the cauliflower brings out deep caramelised tones that pair perfectly with the subtle herbs used in the broth and the sneaky addition of nutritional yeast gives it a wonderful cheesy tone.
You know what to do. Make it. Post it. Tag me.
Enjoy!
