Cauliflower Pea Soup

 

In winter months when cold bitter temperatures get under our skin a good soup comes to rescue. It warms you up from inside out.
I’m a huge fan of soup. I keep telling myself I should make it more often. I have some mushrooms in the fridge and so in fact right after I finish writing this blog post I’m going to put the apron on and head over to the kitchen and make mushroom soup.

Today I want to share with you a really easy and tasty recipe for Cauliflower and Pea Soup.
