I created this soup tonight from scratch. It is simple and delicious. I will give the recipe mainly in pictures with a little bit of text. Pure and simple.
ingredients:
2 large leeks, thinly sliced about two inches from the base up the stalk.
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 head cauliflower, loosely chopped
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 peeled potato, cut in chunks
1 can low fat chicken broth or substitute veggie broth
1 tsp. fine Mediterranean sea salt
3 cups water
Olive oil for the pot
In a large heavy bottom soup pot add a few tablespoons of olive oil with the sliced leeks, celery and garlic. Saute for a few minutes until they just start to get limp.
Add the chunks of cauliflower, sliced peeled potato, salt, broth, and water and bring to a boil. Cover and turn down the heat so it gently boils for 30 minutes.
Using a food processor or blender mix the soup until it is just smooth. Use all the liquid and the soft vegetables.
Serve immediately. Garnish with some cayenne pepper if you like the heat. Salt and pepper to your liking! Enjoy!
