Winter is just a few weeks away and soup season has arrived. This winter I'm keen to broaden my soup repertoire, this recipe was my first effort in trying a new soup.

What sets this soup apart from others is the addition of the curry powder and cumin to the roasted cauliflower, adding a little heat to a cold autumn's day. This soup will be a regular over winter.
