Creamy Roasted Cauliflower & Red Pepper Soup
Cauliflower is such an amazing vegetable, and my new favorite way to eat it is as a Roasted Cauliflower Soup. Roasting cauliflower brings out a caramelized sweetness that you don’t get from eating cauliflower raw, and when you combine with roasted onions and red peppers, you get a warm and comforting soup that you can eat all winter long.
Cauliflower not only tastes good, it’s really good for you. Cauliflower is a member of the cancer-fighting cruciferous family of vegetables, it is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich, and may boost both your heart and brain health. Eating cauliflower will provide your body with impressive amounts of vitamin C, vitamin k, beta-carotene, and much more while supporting healthy digestion and detoxification. Combined with the vitamin E and C you get from the red bell peppers, this soup is a nutritional power soup!
Take advantage of the great sale on cauliflower at Safeway to make this Roasted Cauliflower & Red Pepper Soup for dinner this week. You may even want to buy two cauliflower heads and just eat the roasted cauliflower with onions as a side dish! So delicious!
