CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND KALE SOUP (WHOLE30 AND DAIRY FREE)

It’s been unusually cold and wet this year.  And all I wanna do is eat soup.  We’ve been making my Creamy Sweet Potato Bacon Chowder and my Ultimate Green Soup regularly over the past few weeks.  I thought it was time to come up with another easy and satisfying soup to keep celebrating soup season.

It’s winter, and I eat what comes in our weekly CSA box from a local organic farm.  Lots of cauliflower and kale this time of year, so that’s what I got to work with. I’m super excited because Little One has finally decided that she like cauliflower.  I’ve been making mashed cauliflower seasoned with a bit of flavorful vegetable broth and lots of butter.  It’s her new fav side dish.

Today I’m sharing a warming and comforting cauliflower and kale soup that’s super easy to throw together and hearty enough to take the chill off of a cold winter day.  The stars of this soup are the anti-inflammatory turmeric  and the warming ginger. Slightly creamy and perfectly spiced to warm the soul. I’ve found this soup is a great way to get more vegetables into my family.
