Looking for a way to get more vegetables in your diet? You have to try this cauliflower soup with brioche crumbs and bacon. I didn’t think there was anyway that I would enjoy a cauliflower soup, but surprise, surprise it was is so very good! Of course, the bacon and brioche crumbs help a lot 😉
It’s not that difficult to make, but does require a bit of time. If you have lactose intolerant family members you can replace the dairy items in the recipe with lactose free milk and vegan butter.
