3 ¼ cups of veggie broth

6 cups of cauliflower (1 medium head)

1 cup of chopped red pepper

1 medium sweet potato peeled and cut into cubes

(about 1 and ½ cups)

1 bay leaf

1 cup of unsweetened soy milk

Salt and pepper to taste

. Heat ¼ cup of broth in a large saucepan over medium heat add shallots, celery and sauté for 5 minutes Add remaining cup of broth and 1 cup of water bring to a boil. Add cauliflower, Bell pepper, sweet potato and bay leaf. And bring to a boil.

2. Reduce the heat cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.

3. Add Soy milk and salt and pepper to taste.

This could be eaten year round soup is refreshing with a nice salad for lunch in the winter. On the days Patience isn’t interested in a sandwich for lunch I would give her a cup of soup with salad with grapes or apple.
