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.
