Its amazing how delicious fresh veggies such as cauliflower and fennel can taste with such minimal effort. Creamy, delicious, and so good you’ll forget that it’s healthy too. Made with just olive oil, cauliflower, fennel and leeks, salt and pepper – these are the ingredients that make this soup taste so good. And as creamy as the soup is one would think it has cream. Not! Just water and tender veggies that get blended until creamy.
I asked Hitesh to make this soup last Sunday and he was pleasantly surprised at how deliciously creamy the soup turned out and how healthy it is too! Now that he’s figured out how to make the soup so good, I’ll be asking him to make it again 😊😋. For a delicious, healthy, and easy soup to make on a quiet Sunday evening or any evening really, give this one a try.
