The beautiful vibrant colour of turmeric makes this delicious and healthy Golden Cauliflower Soup with Roasted Paprika Carrots

Ever heard of golden milk? A delicious comforting hot drink that is well known for it's health benefits. Combining Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger honey or maple syrup and milk (can even a use dairy free milk). It supports healthy digestion along with aiding good liver and immune system function. It sounds like a strange combination but it's actually a really lovely drink.

So with that in mind I thought why can't there be a Yummy Golden Cauliflower Soup using similar ingredients? It just seemed like a perfect combination. Finishing the soup off with those roasted paprika carrots, took it to a whole other level.

For the creaminess to the Golden Cauliflower Soup I use a little coconut milk, you really don't need much at all because blending the soup already makes it lovely and smooth, the coconut milk just adds that additional bit of silkiness and deliciousness to the flavour.

Making those roasted carrots for the topping  to the Roasted Cauliflower Soup was just a genius last minute idea. Whenever I have soup, I always feel like it needs to have bread or similar with it, so including an additional ingredient like that really makes it much more exciting and filling. It doesn't have to be vegetables either, it can be lentils, rice, beans, or even some sausage, chicken etc.

To blend the Roasted Cauliflower Soup so it is nice and smooth, I use my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ. This blender is amazing. The auto IQ technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is you are making. There is also an optional add-on for a food processor bowl, which is perfect for chopping and grating vegetables. Sauces and soups are literally so smooth, once complete in this amazing kitchen gadget.
