Easy and Elegant Cauliflower Leek Soup

September 29, 2017 by Rachel Carr 3 Comments

Vegan Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower Leek soup is perfect year round! Readily available anytime of year, cauliflower is an incredibly satisfying and healthy addition to a plant based diet:

  • A member of the cancer-fighting cruciferous family of vegetables
  • Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich, and may boost both your heart and brain health
  • Provides your body with impressive amounts of vitamin C, vitamin k, beta-carotene, and much more while supporting healthy digestion and detoxification.
  • A great source of healthy fiber.

This soup is incredibly easy and has an elegant creamy texture. It’s kind of like a potato leek soup without all the starchy carbohydrates.

Garnish with a few pieces of sauteed cauliflower and leek and a drizzle of olive oil.

Some variations of this soup you might want to try are adding curry powder, blanched spinach or kale, turmeric, or even lemon zest. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a healthy lunch or light dinner.
