How To Make The Best Cauliflower Leek Soup
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.
