Creamy roasted low carb cauliflower soup

CREAMY ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP  [ low carb soup for dinner ]

BY DISHA LAHORI 

This simple soup of roasted cauliflower is so smooth and creamy, 

Cauliflower is considered a superfood because of its nutrient-rich content. It is high in fiber, and vitamins B and C. It also contains high concentrations of carotenoids (antioxidants) and glucosinolates. Although both of these compounds have anti-cancer effects, the glucosinolates have generated the most interest.

Cauliflower is nutrient dense. One cup of raw cauliflower provides over 75% of the daily minimum target for vitamin C.
