Vegan Spiced Cauliflower Soup

Soup season is upon us, and I love it!

Soup is so easy to make, and it's perfect to pack for lunch the next day. This is yet another recipe approved by my 8 year old. My 5 year old wouldn't even try it. She's not a soup person unless it's chicken noodle.

This soup is thick and creamy. Yum!

Above: I sprinkled a little paprika on top to make it look pretty.

• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

• pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth

1. In a large pot, sauté the onions with the bay leaf and all the spices in oil for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.  Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Add the vegetable broth, cauliflower and potato to the pot and simmer on medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
