I am a soup girl. I will eat soup on a hot day with no hesitation. I will even have soup for breakfast if it’s available. I especially love the idea of a steaming hot bowl of pureed vegetable soup on a super cold day. I’ve always been a fan of cream of any type of vegetable soup, but it seems since I’ve become a vegetarian I am even a little more of a love stricken soup lover. Being that this vegetarian thing is still semi-new to me… I find I am still learning which flavors work best together, and making things a little differently than I was use to making them in the past. In my exploration of fusing the best flavors together, my favorite discovery thus far has been Cacique’s Crema Salvadoreña. It makes for an excellent base to a delicious vegetable pureed soup, or any creamy soup for that matter. What I especially love about this full flavored crema is the cheesy note that is followed with a bit of tang. It is the perfect compliment to my cream of cauliflower soup or depending on who I’m talking to… Sopa De Coliflor. You can swap out vegetables for which ever veggies suit your fancy at the moment or what’s in season. Either way, using one of Cacique’s Crema’s is always a great compliment to a pot of homemade soup. You could even use it as a topping by adding a dollop right in the middle of your bowl. This year I will be serving this delightful Cream of Cauliflower as my first course to my upcoming holiday meals.
