There are far too many overpriced ‘detox’ products out there but more often than not, you’re better off sticking with the basics—whole foods, good quality sleep, plenty of water, and a balanced diet that’s rich in nutrients. With this recipe, you’re well on your way. What I like about this instant pot cauliflower soup is that it’s incredibly tasty even without any artificial flavorings. I had gotten used to canned soups, so it took me a while to adjust to home cooking but now, I know how specific ingredients can make a world of a difference. This recipe is a testament to that, and really allows the individual ingredients to shine through.
