This easy soup reheats well and, thanks to a whopping 11 grams of fiber, is quite filling. Make a double or quadruple batch to get you through most of the workweek. If you would rather use fresh cauliflower instead of frozen, go right ahead; the cook time should be the same. You can also substitute the cauliflower with broccoli or any other vegetable you might have on hand. Not a fan of spicy food? You can skip the cayenne pepper. Or add a pinch more if you enjoy a little heat in your food.
