Serve this Creamy Cauliflower Soup with warm baguette during wintery months. How about making them for Christmas Meal too. Hearty, Healthy and Comforting !
I really wanted to bring this post to you folks last week, but things have been really mad at my end !! Phew ! I am finally having a little sit down and drafting this post. What a crazy week it has Been !! And I guess this madness will continue till we step into the New Year 2017.
Oh what fun – We are already working on Party Plans, Christmas Meal ,Charting out schedules to spend the Long School Breaks with family, a Trip to London and what not.
This Creamy Cauliflower Soup is just perfect to accompany the appetiser in the Christmas Meal specially because it come from local produce. It does occur to me manytimes, Chrismas is all about spending time with family and friends together rather than just having exotic pricey fancy meal. This stylish looking comforting Soup is ecnomical to put together and fits the bill for every Christmas Meal.
As I sip this yumm creamy soup dipping some warm toasted baguette , I am also wrapping presents that I have already picked from my favourite store Homesense to stack them under the Christmas Tree. They have got something for everyone with some great bargains. I have treated myself ( Read Blog) to a huge selection of Props from Homesense this Christmas. Did I tell you – these Teal Royal Doughton Bowls and Recycled glasses are from the store. Its a blogger’s paradise !
I visited Outlet village last week to day cheer for the family, apart from looking for Le Cruset and Denby Cutlery Holders . Blimey!! They were priced at 16£ odd whereas at Homesense, they were priced between 6-8£ for the same colors .
If you have still not done with Christmas Shopping or even need bits and bobs of Christmas Decorations, I can highly recommend you to visit the stores. Every Year, we do Visit TK Maxx/Homesense atleast a couple of times and this collaboration came with a big Cheer:)
I let you rejoice this comforting creamy cauliflower soup sitting on a couch, whilst you browse about Homesense on the Web.

Perfect kind of soup for the weather in the mid west! These ingredients are total comfort food, too!
I’m a huge fan of cauliflower. This soup looks absolutely divine – warm, hearty, and creamy! I might add some roughly chopped cauliflower pieces for texture and top with some cheese. And of course, can’t forget the crusty bread on the side!
