Let’s face it sometimes you just want a bowl of soup. Aside from bouillabaisse, finding soup on menus in Provence is not that common. However, when the weather is chilly – soup is the answer.

This Cauliflower Soup recipe enhances the flavour of what can be a bland vegetable with coconut milk and fresh ginger for a slightly Asian touch. It’s the perfect soup to make ahead for a dinner party or to have for lunch on a cold spring day.
