Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp all purpose flour (use ap gluten-free flour for GF)
4 cups reduced sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 bunch leeks (about 3 or 4 dark green stems removed)
1 medium head cauliflower (chopped (about 1 1/2 lbs florets))
kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste
optional toppings: crumbled bacon, cheddar, scallions (extra)

Steps:

  • Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains.
  • Coarsely chop them when washed.
  • In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add broth, leeks, and cauliflower and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes, until cauliflower is soft.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately.

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.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH SPRINKLES

Offer this velvety soup at a dinner party with a pick-and-mix of made-ahead sprinkles

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Soup

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

25g butter
1 large onion , finely chopped
1 leek , finely sliced
3 celery sticks, finely sliced
2 cauliflower , cut into florets
500ml milk
1l vegetable stock
150ml double cream
grating of nutmeg
crisp bacon bits (optional)
rough croûtons
chopped hard-boiled eggs
crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, leek and celery. Cook very gently for 10 mins until soft but not coloured. Add the cauliflower, milk and stock. Bring to a simmer, then gently cook for 10-12 mins until the cauliflower is tender. Add the cream and bring back to the boil. Season with salt and nutmeg, then place in a blender and blitz until smooth. If you like, you can sieve the soup to make it even smoother - I think this makes a difference and doesn't take much more effort, but it's certainly not essential.
  • To serve, bring the soup to the table in the pan with a ladle and little dishes of all the different things you want to serve as sprinkles. Let everyone help themselves. I like to take little servings of soup and scatter over something different each time for variety.
