Although we are still getting quite a few lovely scorching summer days lately. I am aware that the kids will soon be back to school and the colder fall days will be upon us, and when it starts to cool down, soup is a regular rotation on my meal plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of soup is that it is a great way to use up ingredinets in the fridge pantry. You can go all out with heaps of flavour, or keep it delicate and add some delicious toppings instead. Then of course there is smooth or chunky soups. You really can create so much variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all when it comes to soups, is that they are perfect for freezing, so if you live a busy life\/schedule, soups are great for batch cookng and tubbing up to freeze for another day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A great soup for end of the week vegetables<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week I had some cauliflower and carrots that really needed to be used and turned into something, and with my freezer starting to get low on tubbed up meals for busy days. I knew a quick and easy soup would be perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for what else I could grab to add some flavour, added to my pile of ingredients were some garlic clove and fresh ginger, along with a little bit of coconut milk I had leftver from some Lentil Dhal I had a made a few days previous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I make a smooth kind of soup, I love adding a little coconut milk, it just takes it to a whole other level, making it creamy and silky and comforting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not vegan by any means, but I love to balance my week with meals that are packed with vegetables and are meat free. This yummy Ginger Carrot Cauliflower Soup uses all ingredients that are suitable for those following a vegan diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously some of the recommended toppings may not be vegan friendly, but those are optional. The soup alone contains just vegetables, stock, a few other items for flavour and of course that creamy coconut milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering what exactly is an Instant Pot<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its a particular brand of multi function pressure cookers and one of the most popular out there. It is basically a 7in1 cooker - it slow cooks, pressure cooks, sautes, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt. I love mine so much that I actually went and bought a second. That might seem a bit extreme. However when I am recipe testing or batch cooking. I can have two recipes on the go at once - bonus!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topping Suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I make a smooth soup like this, toppings are always a must for me. It just makes it more filling and takes it to a whole other level. For this I just went for some simple roughly chopped almonds and coriander. I love the little bit of crunchy texture they add to the top of the soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course it is perfectly fine just as it is too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other suggestions for toppings are (note that some suggestions are not Vegan friendly):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
