Creamy mushroom soup on a blustery autumn day is delicious and this recipe is no exception. Unlike many mushroom soup recipes, this one contains no cream but tastes really creamy. The creaminess is provided by the cauliflower and in particular the cauliflower stalk. All in all, this is a wonderfully healthy soup with loads of nutrients to enhance your skin’s health. Not only does it contain all the benefits of a homemade bone broth, its also got the added nutrients from the cauliflower and the sweet potato. Tastes pretty good too.
