As I'm trying to think of words to type for this post, I'm switching back and forth from news, twitter, and here. I come back here after a few minutes willing the words to spill out onto the page but it seems I don't have much to write about, my brain knows I'm on some sort of vacation and that blogging (along with a few other things), are far from my mind.
We're headed to San Francisco to wander around for a couple of days. It's been years since I've been, I think I was 13, and Mike has never been. So we're going to wing it and explore (along with hitting up the Renegade Craft Fair).
So I leave you with this simple soup. The cauliflower taste isn't very strong but with all the cheese I feel a bit healthier knowing a whole head of cauliflower is packed away. It's a fairly loose recipe and should really just be adapted for whatever size head of cauliflower you buy, just add a little more veggie broth and cheese as needed).
Off to explore!

This soup sounds great! And I even have both cauliflower and cheese in the house and everything. 🙂 I was thinking about going up to Renegade this weekend too...hmm. We'll see. It's a great fair--you'll love it!

I have been struggling to find the words lately as well. My friend made vegan roasted cauliflower soup the other day and I absolutely loved it. This cheesy version looks delicious!
Andrea says
I made this soup last night -- so simple and SO GOOD! I might have to make it every week 🙂
Heather says
What a great soup - thank you. I've made it twice and both times I put in a handful of garlic cloves with the cauliflower. I then squeeze out the roasted garlic goodness into the soup mixture with the stock and the cauliflower. It gives it a subtle smoky flavour. I also just grate Parmesan on the top and forgo the cheddar which is also yummy.

Looks very simple, tasty, and inviting. Will try it soon. Might pour it over baked potato (your recipe) for a complete satisfying dinner.
Thank you.
