A bowl of comfort, this creamy soup pairs nutty, slightly sweet cauliflower and meaty white beans with golden croutons and crunchy Parmesan crisps. This soup is loaded with skin-loving nutrients and is finished with a crispy Parmesan tuile for a rich, savory crunch.
Depth, baby!
For an extra-perfect depth of flavor, roast the cauliflower with a drizzle of olive oil before adding it to the soup. The caramelized edges make it even richer!
