Golden Cauliflower Leek Soup

I feel like we all need a bowl of this soup right now. It’s cozy, comforting, and simply good for the soul. I’m always on the lookout for a good new soup recipe. It’s like chicken, you can never have enough chicken recipes!

This one is pretty simple. It starts with cauliflower and leeks sautéed in a big pot. I love the mild flavor of the leeks in here, I always forget to use these in place of onions!

There’s one secret ingredient that I LOVE. Rather than using cream to make it silky and smooth, I use slivered almonds, without the skins! You could also use cashews.

What makes it that bright yellow color? Turmeric, which is an anti-inflammatory AND gives it that beautiful golden shine! Get going on this one, you’re gonna love it.
