This aromatic roasted cauliflower and turmeric soup has everything you need for a healthy, protein rich main meal.
We LOVE using good quality turmeric in our food because it is so high in antioxidants. An antioxidant rich diet, and other foods rich in antioxidants, are vital for anti aging and many bodily functions. Basically, they keep you body and mind firing on all cylinders.
This absolutely amazing, colourful soup is bursting with a rainbow of veggies and raw toppings. High in fibre from the red lentil and cabbage, this soup is a complete meal.
Serve with some wholegrain, crusty bread or sourdough to complete.
