Cauliflower & Rosemary Soup
God I have missed soups... when it is Summer at home here soup isn't really on the cards which is a bummer as my gut LOVES warming foods and I find it is a really easy way to load up your veggie intake. When I was at Gwinganna we ate quite a lot of soup and I am actually glad it is coming into the cooler months now so we can make more of it, especially when we have excess of all the cruciferous veggies in the garden. It is also the most important time to really ensure you are looking after your health and upping your vitamin C intake to make sure your immune system is robust enough to fight off the flu or any other Winter nasties that may start appearing.
Cauliflower believe it or not is seriously rich in vitamin C therefore it is the perfect cruciferous vegetable to eat over winter time - great news it is also in season so organic cauliflowers are much more affordable. This soup is seriously delicious and satisfying and I find in Winter time I manage to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a side of salad or meat if you choose to do so. Enjoy x
