Cream of Cauliflower with Leek and Potato Soup
This Cream of Cauliflower with Leek and Potato Soup is a combination of two French soups - Crème Du Barry and Potage Julienne D’Arblay. It's made with cauliflower, leek, potato, carrot, cream, butter and parsley. A great warming meal for fall and winter time. My friend Anna Owens shared this recipe with me.

  • 1 cauliflower (small head, cut into florets)
  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 carrot (chopped)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons butter

2. Slice the rest of the leek.
3. Set aside two handfuls of small cauliflower florets. In a large pot bring water to a boil. Add the rest of the cauliflower and cook for about 1/2 minute. Drain the water. Add potato cubes, sliced leek, bouquet garni and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and gently simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
