Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Wait....ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS!? YUP! This recipe is super easy to make, its plant-based, is vegan/vegetarian, and is super high in antioxidants and specific compounds that help to detoxify the liver and flush out any unwanted toxins (things that we eat, drink, breathe and touch everyday have chemicals and substances that our body needs to filter out).  Cauliflower, similar to other cruciferous veggies have been shown to have potent anti-cancer effects too.  This is also great if you have a thyroid condition but still want to enjoy your cruciferous veggies (typically if you have a low functioning thyroid you need to avoid eating any raw cruciferous veggies).
