Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup

Hey, Spice Squad! 🌶️ Ever wondered what it feels like to cozy up with a bowl of creamy, dreamy deliciousness without any guilt? Well, let me introduce you to my all-time favorite comfort food: Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup! 🥣✨

Growing up, my grandma used to make the best potato soup, but it was packed with cream and not vegan-friendly. When I decided to embrace veganism, I was determined to create a healthier version that would still give me those warm, nostalgic vibes. And guess what? This cauliflower soup does exactly that and more. 😍
