As a soup lover, I always feel one can’t have too many soup recipes. I am not a big meat eater–just simply don’t like the taste of most meats–so I love a good soup that isn’t meat based. Assuming there are others out there like me, I am choosing to share a good soup recipe that is begetable based and doesn’t involve meat. This recipe for Broccoli-Cauliflower Soup produces a delicious rich, creamy soup. With the broccoli, cauliflower, onion and chicken-flavored bouillon, you can eat and enjoy this soup without getting a mouthful of meat. I like it with a rustic crusty bread. However, if you still want meat, it is perfect to serve with a sandwich on the side. This soup also makes a great appetizer course.
