Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
3 tablespoons butter
2 leeks, white part only, chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken stock
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon dried chervil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Stir garlic and vegetable oil together in a small bowl. Arrange cauliflower florets on a baking sheet; pour oil mixture over cauliflower. Toss to coat.
  • Bake cauliflower in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a 4-quart stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir leeks and flour in the melted butter until fragrant and well blended, 5 to 10 minutes. Add cauliflower, chicken stock, and cream; simmer until flavors have combined, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir chervil, salt, and pepper into the soup; simmer until desired thickness, 10 to 15 more minutes.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!

I couldn't find any leeks at the store, so I used green onions instead. The soup was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with leeks.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

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 the creamy texture and the subtle sweetness of the cauliflower.

This soup is delicious! I made it last night and my family loved it. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the cauliflower and leeks give it a great texture. I will definitely be making this soup again.
