Josef’s mother, Gail, is an amazing cook! We love to share her recipes. This weekend she made cauliflower soup. This is an amazingly creamy dairy free soup for anyone who has a sensitivity to dairy but still enjoys a creamy soup. It’s a great accompaniment to any meal. You can make it a little heartier by topping it off with salted cashews or even bits of bacon.
