Thermomix Cauliflower and Leek Soup

Thermomix Cauliflower and Leek Soup

Serves 4

This is one of the first recipes I ever tried from the Thermomix Recipe Community and it definitely wasn’t the last! Although I make this soup in the Thermomix, it would be super simple to make it on the stove too because believe me, this is one bowl of goodness you won’t want to miss! The soup will vary in colour depending on the light you catch and the stock you use, but although I can’t make any promises about the colour, I can totally give you a taste guarantee!

This soup is veggie packed and healthy but tastes so rich and so delicious. The turnip is the secret hero in this soup, giving the dish a beautiful, creamy consistency. It’s hard to believe it’s dairy free! It’s a souper bowl I tell you!

Ingredients

1 leek, white section only, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon butter or oil

400g cauliflower, roughly chopped

1 turnip, peeled and quartered

2  tablespoons Thermomix Vegetable Stock Concentrate

500g water

Dash of paprika (optional)

Grated parmesan cheese, to serve (if not vegetarian or dairy free)
