Creamy Cauliflower Soup

An abundance of cauliflower in my house had me digging through my cookbooks looking for recipes. When I found this “Creamy Cauliflower Soup” I knew this was going to hit the spot.

I went to work and made this delicious combination for dinner, and it did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed the soup, and Neo enjoyed the scraps of cauliflower that fell to the floor.

Equipment

• Dutch Oven

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil if oil free use broth

• 2 cups leeks chopped, white parts only about 3 leeks
• 1 tsp sea salt if salt-free omit
• 1 head cauliflower chopped
• 7 cups vegetable broth
• ¼ cups cashews
• 3 tbsp chives minced

Instructions

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic, leeks, and ¼ teaspoon of salt for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
• Add the cauliflower and sauté for another minute. Add the vegetable broth, increase the heat to high, and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the cauliflower is completely tender.
• Stir the mix periodically and mash the cauliflower with a wooden spoon.
