Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

It may be weird making Soup when it is still 25+ degrees outside but honestly there is nothing better than a homemade Soup with fresh Ingredients, regardless what time of year it is. I am also notorious for buying too many vegetables at the grocery store and needed to figure out how to use up my Broccoli and Cauliflower before it going bad, and this Soup was the perfect Recipe to have stumbled upon. In total this Soup took about 45 minutes to prepare and serve, making it perfect for dinner or to make and freeze for later. Please don't let the colour fool you, it is super delicious, easy to make, and extremely healthy. Make this soup for dinner tonight, the Ingredients and Directions are below.
