CAULIFLOWER RED LENTIL & GINGER SOUP



Cauliflower Red Lentil & Ginger Soup image

Inspired from a recipe in La Dolce Vegan cookbook. This week I cought a cold and desperately wanted to make some home made soup. I flipped to this recipe in the book, and had all the ingredients on hand! I love when that happens. So, I upped the spice a bit, added a cup and 1/2 more broth than originally called for, as well as some spinach too, just because... The original spices are listed below. Because I added more liquid, I also added a tbsp of Sharon123 homemade vegan chicken seasoning, as well as a few grinds of the Mccormick spice grinder blend Mediterranean Fusion which contains salt, pepper, chili, garlic and cumin
