Immune Boosting Cauliflower + Turmeric Soup

Immune Boosting Cauliflower + Turmeric Soup

I absolutely adore eating soup. They are cost effective, filled with nutrients, quick to make and kind on the digestive system – making you feel warm and satisfied after eating it. This recipe is from my cookbook Earth To Table and one that I regularly make for dinner. 

Cauliflower  and turmeric are rich in antioxidants, restorative minerals  and  anti-inflammatory compounds to support digestion and boost the immune system. A purely nourishing soup that’s perfect on its own or served with steamed Jasmine or basmati rice.
