Creamy Cauliflower Soup

 I have a love/hate relationship with the change in weather from hot to cold. I am totally a summer girl who loves to be outside enjoying and soaking up the sun, however I LOVE the fall activities and food. Everything is so warming both physically and emotionally. Family time, leaves changing, pumpkin carving, and SOUP making! If you’re looking for some creamy, healthy soup to warm you up, this is for you!
