Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced leeks, white and light green parts only
1 cup chopped peeled potato
1 tablespoon peeled chopped fresh ginger
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup garlic cloves
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the cauliflower and garlic and simmer until the potatoes, cauliflower and garlic are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
  • Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency with water and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot sprinkled with the parsley and a few grinds of pepper.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would add more liquid next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more ginger and maybe some cayenne pepper.
