This soup has so much to offer a cancer patient – good nutrition, delicious taste, and soothing warmth. Roasting the cauliflower adds a rich flavor, while the potatoes thicken the soup without the use of cream. This soup is ideal for cancer patients experiencing mouth soreness, mouth pain, and/or difficulty chewing or swallowing. Even cancer survivors and caregivers would truly enjoy a big bowl of this soup for dinner or pair a smaller cup with a light sandwich or salad for lunch.
