Hearty Herb & Califlower Soup

Sometimes the best recipes are born in my head out of thin air. This recipe is one of them ... and now I make it weekly!

INGREDIENTS:
1 head cauliflower, chopped (do not be afraid to do up to 2" chunks, it will fall apart further while cooking)
3 carrots, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 turnip, peeled and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
3 tbsp herbs de provence
5 cups vegetable stock (OR you can use organic miso paste as a base, I used 1/4 cup to 5 cups water)
Salt and pepper to taste

In a time saving effort, I basically put everything in the pot at once and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. The end result is an amazing, hearty soup that has very little prep time! Enjoy it with a small serving of short grain brown rice or quinoa or all by itself! It is one of my new favorites...
