Cauliflower Soup
We like this cauliflower cheese so much I decided to try Jamie Oliver’s cauliflower cheese soup to go with our sandwiches last night.
I used turkey broth I had in the freezer instead of chicken broth but otherwise stuck to the recipe except I didn’t top the soup with bacon as suggested because our sandwiches had cold cuts and that seemed like enough meat. Mine came out much more orange than his. Leftovers were great for lunch today with a small salad.

Instructions
- Bring your broth to a boil in a saucepan or heat to a near-boil in the microwave, then set aside.
