Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Balsamic drizzle
This soup is the bomb, seriously. Super easy to whip together, but oh so satisfying. Think you need cream or milk (or worse, some weird gum or starch) for a luscious soup? Nope! This is just pure roasted veggie goodness plus gorgeous chicken stock (or water/veg stock if you are vegan). Top with some reduced balsamic glaze and maybe some prosciutto bits, and you’ll think you were dining at a bistro in Paris.

Recipe Notes

This soup is so lush and creamy, that you can reduce the stock or water just a touch and use in lieu of mashed potatoes or polenta in any meal.  Feel free to add roasted garlic or any herb you love.  Play around and make it your own:-)
