Healthy, because
Cauliflower is packed with vitamin C, while the mackerel provides the body with plenty of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, one portion of this soup contains half of your daily requirement of potassium.
Even smarter
If you want to save yourself the trouble of cleaning, cutting and washing the cauliflower, just use frozen cauliflower florets instead.
