It may not look like much on first glance, but this soup packs [...]
Smoky cauliflower soup with turmeric sweet potatoes and red peppers

Apart from the roasted cauliflower, the cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric work together to bring out the savoury goodness in the vegetables and the sweet potato and [...]
