Creamy Leek & Cauliflower Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Vegetable
This creamy soup is a great replacement for potato soup if you're looking to cut carbs. Yet, it is extremely flavorful. I have served this to many people who dislike cauliflower, yet they love the soup.
"Assuming the TABLESPOON of pepper is a typo and should be TEASPOON, I give this 5 stars. I substituted Old Bay seasoning for the peppers as my tummy can not handle hot spicy. And used low fat half and half as I didn't have any cream.Very tasty and comforting on a winter day. This is my new go to comfort soup. " - looseal
