healthy creamy soup

Recipe video above. {Low Cal, GF, low carb} My secret method to make a really low calorie creamy soup that is seriously delicious! Using boiled PEELED zucchini, simmer until soft then blitz into what looks like everybody&#x27;s favourite calorie-laden creamy broths.....but it&#x27;s guilt free. Zucchini is ideal - purees smooth, neutral flavour that&#x27;s easily disguisable. It doesn&#x27;t taste like zucchini - just a savoury creamy soup. I&#x27;ve used it to make a healthy version of homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. But imagine the possibilies - use it in place of any soup that has a creamy white broth!

This creamy cauliflower leek soup is so quick and easy to make, you can whip up any night of the week! It's the perfect light soup if you want to have this as a first course, and leftovers are perfect for lunch.

Cauliflower Leek Soup

unsalted butter

tbsp all purpose flour (use ap gluten-free flour

chicken

leeks (about 3 or 4 dark green stems removed)

cauliflower (chopped (about 1 1/2 lbs florets))

kosher salt and fresh pepper

toppings: crumbled bacon, cheddar, scallions (extra)

Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains.

Coarsely chop them when washed.

In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.

Using a wooden spoon, stir and cook 1 to 2 minutes.

Add broth, leeks, and cauliflower and bring to a boil.

Cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes, until cauliflower is soft.

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
