CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER AND LEEK SOUP



Cream of Cauliflower and Leek Soup image

We love these warm cream soups during the winter, they are definitely a comfort food. I didn't want to use potatoes in my soup due to the starchy content, so thought I'd come up with a soup that uses a different vegetable that is often substituted for potato in raw recipes. This soup is very tasty and would go great with a piece of home made bread or crackers.

DIANA STURGIS' CURRIED CAULIFLOWER & LEEK SOUP



Diana Sturgis' Curried Cauliflower & Leek Soup image

We've eaten this hot and cold and like it both ways. It really is a creamy soup; however, the potatoes add the creaminess, not cream. So you can feel pretty virtuous eating this. You may substitute broccoli or broccoflower the the cauliflower for variety.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a cauliflower with a firm, white head free of blemishes. A cauliflower that is too loose or has brown spots may be old or damaged.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help the cauliflower cook evenly and will make it easier to puree.
  • Sauté the leeks and onion before adding the cauliflower: This will help to develop their flavor and add depth 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 cauliflower: Cauliflower can become mushy if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Puree the soup until it is smooth: Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you like a chunky soup, you can leave some of the cauliflower florets whole.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve the soup hot: Cauliflower leek soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower leek 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 rich flavor, cauliflower leek soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
