Roasted & Curried Cauliflower Soup







A soup that’s easy to make, comforting, satisfying and healthy? That’s one I’ll make again and again. Roasted & Curried Cauliflower Soup checks off all those boxes. Enjoy this soup with some crusty bread and a simple salad and you have a dinner that pleases guests of all ages.
The apples are?my favorite?topping, there’s something about the sweet and tart flavors that work so well against the spicy?and savory qualities of the soup. And when the apples crisp up, they have a lightness that both brightens and lifts the meal. I also love?this soup with toasted sliced almonds, caramelized onions and of course?drumroll please? bacon crumbles (go figure). All are delicious, it’s a matter of individual taste and what you have on hand.
Pair this wine with an aromatic white wine like a dry Riesling, a Gewerztraminer or my personal wine of choice, Chaberton Siegerrebe (click here for the full report).
