Cauliflower Soup with Gruyère

The theme for Monday Posts in February is Light Soup.

These will be mainly vegetable soups that are suitable for a first course or, with the addition of a salad or some crusty bread, a light lunch or supper.

Vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth that I usually use.

These are simple, easy recipes – no detailed photos, etc.

  1. I love soup. I would definitely do this for dinner. No bread, don’t need the carbs. I think I’m going to really enjoy your Monday morning posts 🙂

    Snowing here again this morning. At least it’s warmer at 21 degrees, but the cold weather is coming back in later in the week.

    • I could eat soup every day – and do in the winter for my lunch. We are warming up a bit as well…. not every day, but some days which is a big improvement.
