Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Keep cozy with this creamy cauliflower soup. This simple dish is packed with flavor and ultra comforting!  So many places are still wrapped up in snow. We recently had some snow where I am, too.

I buy it all the time, but making it myself doesn't happen nearly as often as I'd like. It's a little crazy considering how much I love baking yeast bread at home.  When I picked up some chocolate swirled cookie butter over at Trader ...
