This comforting soup gets its lovely orange hue from the use of ground turmeric; known for its anti-inflammatory qualities and antioxidants, lately I keep both the ground version and the fresh root version of the miracle root in my kitchen.  The base of this healthy soup includes sliced onions, garlic, and cauliflower florets, all flavored with fresh thyme, the turmeric, chicken stock and the last minute additions of a touch of brown sugar and rice vinegar for tang.  I love the toppings used to finish everything off, too—cumin-scented pumpkin seeds, fresh chives and a swirl of sour cream for added creaminess.  Each bite of this soup is creamy, warming and filled with healthful flavors!
