Soup weather is here and we could not be happier about the soup but maybe not about the weather. This scrumptious Roasted Broccoli Cauliflower Soup takes this recipe to a whole new level by first roasting the vegetables. This technique helps lend a little bit of smoky flavor to this soup along with a touch of crispy edges from the roasted vegetables. You can eat this soup nice and chunky like I did or puree whatever portion you desire. Your kitchen is your playground so make it to suit you.
