I think many of us are familiar with the traditional leek potato soup from our childhood. I’m remembering my mother cooking it for me with some crunchy homemade garlic bread.

Now, imagine the traditional potato leek soup in which we will add an extra flavor and creamy texture by adding cauliflower into this mix.

The pureed cauliflower texture makes the soup so rich and heavy! Don’t forget — you can always add some extra calories with bacon or chicken.

What I love about the creamy soups is that the only limits are your imagination. You can add or remove any ingredients that you want.

You can add some extra cheese or some other vegetables.

This soup will be good with anything!

Let’s get started!

What Ingredients do You Need for The Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup?

Chopped potatoes, cauliflower, leek and butter on white table.
  • 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil.
  • 2 tablespoons of Butter.
  • 2 ½ cups of Leek.
  • 5 cups of Cauliflower.
  • 3 ½ cups of Potatoes.
  • 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. Or you can replace it with any other cheese you prefer. A cheese with a stronger aroma would also fit perfectly. For example gorgonzolla.
  • 3 tablespoons of Sour Cream. You can replace it with whipped cream. If you use whipped cream, you will get a sweeter taste because sour cream offers a little acidity.
  • 1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste.

How to Make Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup:

Take a deep and large pan, heat it up, and put the oil and butter in it.

When the butter has melted, add the leeks and cook it until it will become soft. This will take about 3 minutes.

When the leeks have softened, add the potatoes, and salt, and mix well with all the vegetables. Cook all vegetables for another 2 minutes on medium heat.

After that, pour boiling water over all our ingredients. Set medium heat and let the vegetables boil until the potatoes are almost ready. This will take about 10 minutes but may differ depending on the type of potatoes you will use.

This creamy soup would go great with something crunchy. For the addition of taste, and texture add some croutons (maybe with garlic?) or an interesting combination would be some fried bacon. Also, you can serve it with a delicious focaccia Genovese or with a few slices of delicious rosemary parmesan bread.

It would also be good to sprinkle the soup at the end with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for extra flavor.

Today, I used only a little black pepper and some croutons.
