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.

    My husband (who does not usually like soup had two servings and even said "great soup!" In my book that makes this a winner. Indeed it is easy to put together - I used one spring onion instead of leeks and soy milk, served it in a bread bowl, and added some freshly cooked bacon on the top for a bit more salty punch! Great way to use up those heads of cauliflower we get in the CSA!

    Love it! Easy and fast to make, delicious and healthy. I used only 4 cups of broth as I like my soups on the ticker side, no need for the milk. Even my 14 mo old likes it.
