Creamy, rich, and totally satifying! All the words that help to describe a really good soup. This roasted cauliflower soup fits the bill!
It’s often thought that only dairy/cream can make a soup creamy. But I assure you that is not the case! Thick and buttery soups can be created WITHOUT the use of animal products. How? By using coconut milk and/or cashews. These healthy plant-based ingredients produce that same velvety texture that we know and love, but without the unhealthy side effects! Try it for yourself in this extra creamy plant-based roasted cauliflower soup recipe!
