Cauliflower and Celery Root Soup with Red Pepper Swirl

The leaves are falling, temperature is dropping – time to warm up with some fragrant, comforting soup. When a soup is hearty and healthy all in one bowl, all the cook needs to do is sauté the ingredients, and let the pot look after itself as it simmers away.
