Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 2 leeks, white parts only, well-washed and chopped
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1 medium all-purpose potato, cubed
  • 6 cups white chicken Stock
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup 1 percent low-fat milk (optional)
  • 4 leaves fresh parsley

Directions

Combine the oil and butter in a large saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and stirring frequently, allow them cook slowly for 10 minutes. Do not brown.

Stir in the cauliflower, potatoes, and stock. Season with the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender. Remove form the heat and allow to cool slightly.

Transfer to a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until smooth. Transfer to a clean saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the soup is too thick, thin with the milk.

Pour an equal portion into each of 4 warm bowls. Lay a parsley leaf in the center.

    So tasty and easy to make, even with leftovers

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My husband doesn't like foods that have been slimmed down, but he and my daughter loved this. I had leftover cauliflower so I... recooked it in the broth and then put that in the blender. After returning it to the pan, I added leftover mashed potatoes. Other than that I followed the recipe. Next time I would probably put the mashed potatoes in the blender too, not sure though. It was even better then next day!Read more

    Easy and Delicious

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I always look for different types of soup once the weather gets cool. This soup did not disappoiint. It was very easy to put... together and came out delicious. I used a little milk as the recipe called for and it made it rich and creamy...but I could see how others who have reviewed this recipe would easily omit it. I think its great either way. It has that gourmet look to it and I think it would be an impressive first course for company.Read more

    great!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Wow! This soup is very good. I added a bit of garlic powder at the end. I only had 2 cans of chicken broth, so I used... about 2 1/4 cups of water, and it was still good. I didn't need to use any milk at the end, it was already creamy and not too think. A great way to use up cauliflower!Read more

    A Perfect Soup

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I needed a recipe to use up a head of cauliflower that was going to go bad in a few days. My search brought me to this recipe... and it was perfect! The steps are a little involved, since you have to cook the soup and then puree it, but it was definitely worth the work!Read more
