Here is a really good springtime soup. I had some leftover lobster and a head of cauliflower so I created this Cauliflower Lobster Soup as we had no dinner planned!! I had to come up with something quick!!
Thinking we had leftovers in the fridge from Easter dinner I wasn’t worried, but Ken was very efficient in packing everything up and freezing it. We do a lot of freezing so we have delicious dinners ready throughout the week.
Between meal planning, I usually write up a menu for the week. Having frozen homemade dinners at the ready we don’t eat out that often unless it is for a reason, not just to grab dinner. I think it is a lot healthier.
Again I digress, onto the soup. This I completely came up with myself and it was strictly what we had on hand. The soup was made quickly and we all loved it. I saved some for my lunch the next day. Sooooo yummy!!
