About 5 years ago, I came across this recipe & started serving it in the restaurant. Everyone loved it. You can also use wild leeks in this recipe. It is also low in carbs for the healthy benefits!

How To Make leeks, cauliflower, & sausage soup

Step 1

Heat the olive oil & butter in large pot over med, high heat. Saute the leeks, carrots, celery, & minced garlic about 10 minutes, but do not allow to brown or burn, as the garlic will be bitter.

Step 2

Brown sausages in oil . Set aside.
Step 3

Stir vegetable broth in leek mixture & bring to boil.
Step 4

Reduce heat, cover & simmer for about 45 minutes.
Step 5

Remove from heat & blend the soup with an immersion blender, or hand mixer, if desired.
Step 6

Add the cut cauliflower & sausages. Season with garlic season & pepper.
Step 7

Mix in heavy cream & stir in until smooth. Cover with lid & let set about 20 minutes or so. This will cook the cauliflower so it is still in tact & not mushy.
Step 8

Serve with toasted garlic french bread.
