You guys know, with grilling season, I’ve been obsessed with grilled meat and veggies lately. But at least once a week, I do need to make some soup.

My soup recipes are pretty simple – I use a lot of fresh veggies, I usually use vegetable stock, I rarely use cream, they take between 30 minutes to 1 hour to cook and I rarely use a slow cooker.

The combination of cauliflower and asparagus is perfect for spring and summer. And these two vegetables pair perfectly in a soup.

Why roast the vegetables? Flavor… Roasting brings out a lot more flavor than steaming or boiling them.

Growing up, I loved eating cauliflower. I often ate it raw. My grandmother made awesome pickled cauliflower salad, recipe fro which I need to post.

But we never made soup with it. We made salads, stews, or ate it raw. Ever since I started using it in soups, it has turned into one of my favorite vegetables.

But today is all about this Cauliflower And Asparagus Soup.
