Nothing says fall and winter like soup. I really like a good vegetable soup, but sometimes the classic toss-a-bunch-of-veggies-in-a-pot-and-cook-them-for-forever gets old. And flavorless. But it’s so easy, right? That’s why we keep doing it. This cauliflower soup is a marvelous cure for that problem because it IS easy.

You DO toss a bunch of veggies in the crockpot and let them cook all day in a strong, nourishing broth. However, when you puree it with coconut milk and generously sprinkle it with bacon and parsley, a miracle happens.

Soup goes from ho-hum to awesome, and our fall and winter staple is saved.
