    Northern Bean Cauliflower Soup, what could be better than a big bowl of soup, crusty bread and a warm cozy couch in front of a toasty fire.

    You know what you need when it gets really cold outside?

    A big bowl of hearty soup.

    When it's really cold out, a big bowl of hot soup with crusty bread is my go to meal.

    It was wet and cold in Texas, a must have soup weekend!

    Do you ever have those days when you want to create a dish, but you don't have all the ingredients and you don't want to venture out to get them?

    That was me this weekend, so I shopped my fridge and pantry, and an hour or so later I had a most tasty, hearty soup that was good for my soul and my body.

    This soup is a great source of vitamin C, K, iron, antioxidants and loaded with fiber.

    The base of this soup is, are you ready for it....Cauliflower. Yes, cauliflower, mixed with a few other tasty ingredients this soup was the hit of the weekend in my house.  For the vegans the soup was topped off with nutritional yeast and the vegetarians parmesan cheese.

    I mixed ½ cup nutritional yeast with ½ cup pine nuts to keep the soup vegan.

      I made the northern bean cauliflower kale potato soup tonight. When do you add the rest of the leeks, potatoes and onion?

        Hi Jody, Thanks for catching that. You can add them when you add the kale and cook until potatoes are fork tender.

      Thanks for the recipe. I'm trying it right now. One question--when do you add the 1/2 cup chopped leeks and the 1&1/2 cup cubed potatoes that you held aside in the first step? Thanks for the help!

        Thanks for the question, I took a look and realized I made a mistake in the instructions. You actually add all of the potatoes to the pot, just reserve some after the boiling to add back to soup when you add the kale and this is also when you add in the leeks to give the soup a chunky bite. It's raining here today and this soup would be perfect.
