What do busy bees turn to who want to give it their best in their social life and kick butt at hosting loved ones? Soup is the answer! ?
At the end of last week, I was awaiting my sister and brother in law in Rotterdam while juggling that famous work-life balance. After spotting a cauli in the fridge this soup came together in a heartbeat. Nothing like a warm soup to feel like you are taken care of. When in need, turn to soup!

P.S. I used dried chickpeas, if you do too then make sure they are pre-cooked. Enjoy! ❤
