Keeping warm with a bowl of Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup has been the trend in my house lately. With all these record breaking temperature lows this decadent soup will definitely sizzle up your belly in the most pleasant way.
I used a good amount of Crema Con Sal to beautify the soup with a creamy finish and garnished the top with roasted corn and mushrooms. I like to pair the soup with a batch of Queso Fresco and spinach empanadas for the ultimate comfort meal!
