Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Leeks, garlic, and other alliums contain prebiotics, an indigestible fiber that provides critical support for your gut microbiome and digestive health.
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 4 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 leeks (white and light green parts), rinsed and chopped thoroughly
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 14-oz. can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Directions
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, then place in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet
and roast for 15 minutes.
STEP 2
Place a stock pot over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add leeks. Cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about five minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional one to two minutes.
STEP 3
Add roasted cauliflower, water, coconut milk, and spices to the stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and allow soup to simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 35 minutes.
STEP 4
Allow soup to cool slightly, then add to a blender and blend until smooth, venting the lid slightly to let steam escape. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to blend directly in the pot. Serve.
