Cauliflower Soup Benefits

Some may underestimate the many good effects of cauliflower on our bodies. Whether it’s adding it to our smoothie bowls or making a pizza crust from it, cauliflower is so nutritious and adaptable. Just one serving provides 77% of our daily value of vitamin C, in addition to being a good source of other vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, protein, fiber, and more. The recipe below makes enough to serve 2-4 (depending on the serving sizes).

Ingredients:

  • 2 TB extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
