Author Notes
This soup is as simple as the simple path I took towards the healthier me! You can add your own twist to this cauliflower soup and take it to the next level. You can add avocado to add some healthy fats to the soup. Add some raw corn for sweetness or millet to make this soup into a meal. This cauliflower soup with garlic scapes is like a blank canvas for you to paint on! Did you know that cauliflower has over 9 grams of fiber in every 100 calories? Cauliflower is high in antioxidants and it supports body’s detox system. Garlic strengthens body’s immune system and helps to fight coughs and congestion. In the flu season garlic is a must have food to ward off colds and flu. —Medha | Farm on Plate
