Take the chill off your day with comforting and creamy Cauliflower, Spinach and Tortellini Soup.

And let’s not forget the Parmesan Cheese and Sundried Tomatoes that pack on so much flavor too. The trick to the creaminess in this soup is using pureed cauliflower instead of heavy cream.  This makes it a lighter soup without sacrificing the creamy taste.  I love that you are getting the goodness and flavor of spinach, cauliflower, sundried tomatoes and basil in this delicious soup too.

Let this soup warm you up anytime, but especially on a cold winter night.
