Creamy Cauliflower Soup

Spring is a great time to help your body detoxify and also stave off allergies. The Vitamin C in the lemon and the cauliflower coupled with the quercetin from the onions and garlic is a home-run allergy reducer! A high-fiber powerhouse, cauliflower loves your liver and provides extra sulfur for optimal detoxification
