LEMONY CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP
The beauty of a soup like this - other than its bone-warming properties - is that you don't need a recipe. You can pretty much simmer together any combination of vegetables with a little water or broth, purée it, top it with good olive oil and salt, and end up with something good to eat. The addition of miso paste and crushed coriander to the broth, and fresh lemon and cilantro at the end, zips things up without negating the comfort factor.
