This Leek and Potato Soup is a fantastic soup recipe for any time of the year! It’s so creamy and delicious, but wait, there’s NO cream!? That’s right folks! No cream! It gets its silkiness from a secret ingredient…cauliflower.
It’s delicious hot, but you can also enjoy it in the summer months by serving it chilled too. For a heartier soup that serves as a meal, try my Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup or my Chicken Tortellini Soup.
Cauliflower Provides the Creamy Texture
Cauliflower has the most incredible texture once cooked, which is why I like to use it.
There isn’t much flavor, which is OK because the leeks, celery, onions, and garlic take care of that.
The cauliflower’s real purpose is to deliver the texture.
Cauliflower is also the secret ingredient in my Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup.
Recipe Pairing Ideas:
Serve this soup with my Garlic Knots with Pizza Dough Recipe or my Parmesan Tuiles Recipe.
Serve as a starter to my White Wine Chicken or Seared Salmon with Buerre Blanc sauce.
For dessert, try my Pear Spiced Cake or French Apple Tart
Looks so good!
Oh my, I just changed my Thanksgiving menu!!! Thank you.
