When busy (which is like all the time these days!), I’ve got several super-easy go-to recipes that I like to whip up. Busy Bean & Tortilla Soup is one of those. And it’s perfect timing right now for Cinco de Mayo.

It’s soup season! For me that means I need to create a new soup. Here it is! It features cauliflower … purple cauliflower. But you can totally prepare this with any color cauliflower, including white. All forms are tasty and good for you, of course.

I love pureeing a vegetable soup to make it creamy … no actual cream required! This is one of my go-to recipes for that. It gets extra velvetiness from white beans. Beyond the creaminess, you’ll adore the scrumptious balance of sweet and savory here. The roasting of the peppers gives it depth of flavor. And you’ll love that this soup can do double-duty; use it as a colorful (and nutrient-rich) gravy. The vivid deep-orange color is lovely!

chilled grilled corn soup

We’re smack dab in the middle of corn* season in much of the country, including where I live in New York. So I thought I’d take advantage of it. Even though I love a good bowl of corn chowder, I really don’t want a steamy serving of it when it’s still so summery hot outside. That’s where this chilled corn soup comes in. It’s rich in flavor from the “naked” grilling of the corn, a hint of “heat” from jalapeño, and a generous pinch of earthy cumin. It provides sweet, smoky, and refreshing goodness in every spoonful!
