Let These 5 Satisfying Soup Recipes Warm You Up From The Inside Out!

 

2. Soothing Cauliflower Soup

 

There’s not much I adore more than a chilly day where I can end it with a bowl of hot, homemade soup. This cauliflower soup is reminiscent of potato soup. It has all the hearty flavors and warmth you need.

I look forward to coming home to this, waiting in my crockpot all warm and soothing. I top it with cheese and bacon crumbles and dig in! I don’t even need anything else.

Even better, everyone in the family loves it too. A head of cauliflower is only a little over a dollar, and it is much easier than chopping and dicing potatoes in my opinion. With such a versatile flavor, cauliflower easily passes for potatoes but I feel like it has a better taste in some way not that I can put my finger on it. Either way, you and yours deserve to indulge in this concoction and you’ll quickly see why it’s so amazing.
