Instructions: This deceptively mild soup is actually brimming with flavorful seasonings. The vitamin- and protein-rich brown rice miso, a soybean paste, is stocked in the ethnic section of larger markets and by Asian groceries. Spike seasoning is an herb mix that can be found on your supermarkets spice rack.

You can create a variety of robust, healthy vegetable purees using this recipe. Try substituting an equal amount of trimmed and chopped asparagus, carrot, or spinach for the cauliflower.

Combine the cauliflower and vegetable stock in a stockpot. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork tender. Transfer the contents of the pot to a blender, add the miso and cream cheese, and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the stockpot. Add all remaining ingredients except the peas and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the peas.
