Roasted Cauliflower Leek Soup

Jan 8, 2017 (updated Aug 21, 2025) (Leave a Comment)

Roasted Cauliflower Leek Soup

Here's a very simple soup made with cauliflower and leeks. Roasting does add some time to the prep but the flavor of the roasted veggies is worth it.

This soup has a creamy, butteryย flavor requires only a few key ingredients: cauliflower, leeks, salt, garlic, and water. And no need for butter or dairy for that matter-it's naturally dairy-free, grain-free, lactose-free, and nut-free.

Leeks really are a star ingredient in this recipes, but you can use onions in a pinch. Leeks and onions are both alliums but leeks have a milder flavor than onions. I keep leeks in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

The topping in the photos is crumbled croutons made from Parmesan biscotti. Some other good toppings are roastedย veggies, or caramelized onions. This soup also make a great base for other creamy soups.

Roasted Cauliflower Leek Soup

When cutting up leeks, I trim the bottom roots, and then slice it into coins, stopping when the white turns into green.
You can use high heat oil like avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee for roasting. If you bake at a slightly lower temperature, you can use olive oil. To avoid burning the leeks, cut the cauliflower into small pieces so they will soften sooner and you can keep the roasting time closer to 25 minutes. I also remove the fullyย burnt pieces of leek. Or, lower the temperature to 350ยฐF and bake for closer to 35 or 40 minutes.
Also note that I like my soup thick, but feel free to add more water to thin it out to the consistency you prefer.ย
