Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup

Why This Is Kidney Friendly:
This soup uses cauliflower as a low-potassium, low-phosphorus base, making it a great alternative to traditional creamy soups. Roasting the cauliflower and garlic brings out natural sweetness and depth of flavor, so there’s no need for added salt or high-sodium broths. The recipe is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, and uses only fresh, whole ingredients, making it gentle on both kidneys and heart.
