Creamy Tomato & Cauliflower Soup
Dear April & Fraya,
I will never forget the first time we hung out together, came back from the cold arboretum, and headed to April’s kitchen for the making of this amazing vegan, healthy, and delicious Creamy Tomato & Cauliflower Soup. What a freakin’ day we’d had thus far! Let’s just say I most certainly cannot and will not share the contents of our hilarious day. I’ll let your mind try and concoct crazy ideas of its own. It was a very, crazy, fun day, for sure! Oh to be 25 again. I don’t know that I could survive it twice though! Thanks for the recipe, April! Miss you girls daily! Xo
To everyone else reading this post: This recipe is so ridiculously easy and delicious. It is loaded with flavor, requires very few and super cheap ingredients. I love creamy soups that are actually healthy. Who doesn’t?! Winter blizzards need winter warmth. Wrap yourself up in this soup with some awesome hearty bread, and a nice glass of wine. Enjoy and stay warm!
