Cauliflower Leek Soup

More of my favorite creamy soups include Cream of Asparagus Leek Soup with Creme Fraiche, Cream of Zucchini Soup, and Cream of Carrot Ginger Soup.

I love cooking with leeks, they have a sweet, delicate flavor which is perfect for this soup. Before using leeks, it is essential to wash them well, as dirt usually collects between the layers. When using leeks, you’ll want to use the white and light green parts, I cut them right where the color changes to darker green.
