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.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The leeks and cream really balance out the flavor of the cauliflower.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would add more broth next time.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that you can use frozen cauliflower and leeks, which makes it a great option for when you're short on time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some garlic or paprika. But the texture was nice and creamy.

Creamy, comforting, and delicious! This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a hit with the whole family.

The soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little spice. Will definitely be making this again!
