Soup Section

Today's Dinner adventure!
Cauliflower leek soup
I got this recipe from the one and only Bethenny Frankel! This is a delicious and healthy soup that will keep you full for hours.  Here is the recipe, hope you get a chance to make it! (This recipe serves twelve, but since I'm the only one eating it I divided it by 3 and tweaked it to my liking.)


  • 1 tsp vegetable oil                                                        
  • 2 tsps garlic, minced
  • 2 ½ cups leeks, white part only
  • 1 ½ cups potatoes, peeled an diced
  • 6 cups cauliflower, cored and trimmed
  • 8 cups vegetable stock
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper


Preparation
  1. Add vegetable oil to a heated stockpot.  Sauté garlic and leeks for about 5 minutes or until soft.  Be sure to stir frequently.
  2. Add potatoes and cauliflower and continue to cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Add stock and simmer for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.
  4. In a blender, add potato/cauliflower mixture and puree.  Alternatively, you may use an immersion blender.
  5. Add more water if the consistency is too thick.  Stir in salt and pepper.  
  6. Cook another 5 minutes and adjust seasonings and serve.
