Simple Cauliflower and Parsnip Soup

Creamy and comforting cauliflower, parsnip and thyme soup recipe, simple and quick to make.

November is one of those months where you just need lots of cozy comforting warm meals and this Simple Cauliflower and Parsnip Soup might just be one of those. I can say I’m not a huge fan of cauliflower and although I’ve been brought up eating lots of cauliflower as a child I don’t often cook it or have many fun recipes using it. But I do like it mixed with other veggies for more flavor or blended into a soup.

Soup is a simple and nourishing way to get the most of this plant and since it doesn’t have any greens it’s a winner with my son, which is always good:) In this recipe I’ve teamed up the cauliflower with some parsnips and thyme for extra flavor and fragrance. I use thyme quite a bit in cooking and it has become one of my most favorite herbs, it’s beautifully fragrant and it works great in this recipe. Hope you’ll enjoy this little bowl of goodness.
