This Cauliflower, Turmeric and Almond Soup can do wonders for you immune system and digestion, no matter the time of year.
Almonds will keep your skin glowing in the summer, whilst also adding a lovely thick consistency to the soup. On the other hand, cauliflower will protect you from any harsh colds or flu in the winter!
Not only does this soup contain healthy fats, in the form of the ground almonds, which also help to thicken the soup, but it also contains turmeric, which is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, thanks to a property called curcumin.
