Cauliflower and Fennel Soup

Cauliflower and Fennel Soup

A healthy diet is all about variety, especially when it comes to fruit and vegetables ñ the more different ones you try, the better. Of course, there is always the risk that you won't like or won't know what to do with a vegetable you have never tried before. Making a soup is a great option because you can combine familiar flavours with new, as in this cauliflower and fennel soup. It's easy to prepare and makes a filling meal or snack.
