Fall is here with us once more, and people will wish for spring before the long winter period ends. However, soup always makes everything better because apart from sprucing up your meals, it provides the much-needed warmth.

This article will highlight some vegan soups you can enjoy during this period like the butternut squash and cauliflower soup, creamy garlic cauliflower soup, and carrot pumpkin soup.

10 ml Oil

Pinch of salt

500ml low sodium vegetable broth

Coconut milk

Cauliflower florets
