Cauliflower Leek Soup

I told you I’m in full fall mode! I’m really enjoying having soup and this Cauliflower Leek Soup might be the most comforting and cozy. This Cauliflower Leek Soup is incredibly simple ingredients blended together to create a smooth and creamy texture. The onions get all caramelized and are blended with browned cauliflower, leek, lots of garlic, and fresh thyme!! It’s simple yet warming and delicious. Serve with toasted sourdough bread!

Kitchen Essentials:

This is a blended creamy soup so you’ll need a blender or an immersion blender for this recipe to create a smooth texture.

Main Ingredients:

• Cauliflower
• Leek
• Vegetable Broth
• Coconut Milk
• Thyme

Tips & Tricks:

Allow the onions and Caulfilower to become soft and start to brown for lots more flavor! This is such a simple soup with minimal ingredients so this is where a lot of the flavor happens. Give the onions time to properly caramelize and brown the cauliflower.

I’ve burned myself by blending hot liquid and have even gotten it all over the walls and ceiling because I filled the blender too high with HOT soup. So, please be cautious and careful when blending hot liquids. I like to let it cool for about 15 minutes or so off the heat and then blend in small batches. I would also recommend placing a towel over the blender to catch any splatter if you have a vitamix and hold the lid tight.
