Even though there is no dairy, this soup is creamy and comforting on a snowy day. We love to serve soup before dinner, especially if it is a lighter meal or for lunch.
Find the teacups or small bowls and put them to use.

- Remove cauliflower and carrots from the oven and add to the onions in the stock pot.
- Add chicken stock, remaining ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper, coriander and turmeric.
- Bring stock to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes until vegetables soft.
- Cool stock enough to place in blender and puree in 3 or 4 batches.
- Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
- Rewarm when ready to serve.
- Garnish with parsley or chives.
