Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium leek, white bottom portion only, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock or broth
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
Freshly chopped tarragon leaves or chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat add the butter and leeks and cook until the leeks are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the leeks are tender add the flour, stirring well and cook until all of the flour has been incorporated. Add the stock, cauliflower and the potato and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add the soup, in batches, to a food processor or blender and puree. Return the soup to the original saucepan over medium-high heat, add the cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the soup to thicken. Stir in the sage. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with tarragon or chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best flavor, use fresh cauliflower that is firm and white. Avoid heads that have brown spots or bruises.
  • Roast the cauliflower before cooking: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the florets. This adds a delicious depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Cauliflower soup is best when it is slightly chunky. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of the soup. Try sprinkling some chopped chives, parsley, or grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower vanilla soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and subtle sweetness, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new soup recipe to try, give cauliflower vanilla soup a try.
