Meatless Monday: Cauliflower Leek Soup

The chill has finally arrived! Let’s keep rolling out some fall recipes and comfort food. For today’s Meatless Monday I am sharing a cauliflower leek soup.There are two reasons I didn’t use potatoes. One, I wanted a low carb option for those of you watching your sugar molecules. Two, I don’t like potatoes in soups or stews. Don’t get me wrong, I love almost all versions of potatoes: potato pancakes, french fries, roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, you name it. Just keep them away from my soup. I guess everyone has their quirks.

In continuing with my Turmeric theme of last week, I made sure to include some to bump the nutrition value up a notch.
