Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts only (4-5 medium leeks)
12 cups cauliflower florets (from 2 large heads, about 2 pounds each)
8 cups chicken stock
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup creme fraiche

4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Puree the soup in batches in a food processor, blender, or food mill, and return soup to pot (or use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot).

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I also like to add a bit of chopped kale or spinach for an extra boost of nutrients.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use frozen cauliflower, which makes it a great option for a quick weeknight meal.

This soup was a disaster! It was bland, watery, and the crispy prosciutto was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I might have used too much Parmesan cheese.

I didn't have any crispy prosciutto, so I just used regular bacon. It was still good, but I think the crispy prosciutto would have been better.
