Healthy, because
Even people who are otherwise unlikely to like cabbage can rarely resist cauliflower. That's good, because the cabbage not only has a high vitamin C content, but also so-called glucosinolates, which are responsible for the typical cabbage aroma. These aroma substances protect our cells from free radicals, which can cause illness and premature aging.
Even smarter
You can also refine the cauliflower cream soup with purple cauliflower. However, you should use the florets as a soup garnish, as the colour is easily perished if it is boiled in too much water. Therefore only steam it and garnish the soup with it at the very end.
