Spiced Cauliflower Soup (Winter Treat)

Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous vegetables family. Cruciferous vegetables are an excellent source of natural antioxidants due to their high levels of various phytochemicals, as well as good suppliers of essential vitamins, carotenoids, fiber, soluble sugars, minerals and phenolic compounds.

cauliflower is also a good source of vitamin K. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it is absorbed in the intestines along with fat, so this is one reason why eating cauliflower — along with a source of healthy fat — is important.
