It’s definitely soup season at the moment, and this carrot cauliflower soup absolutely hits the spot. It’s creamy, delicious and oh so simple to make. Perfect for lunch or dinner, especially when served with some crusty bread on the side!

- 1 litre vegetable stock
- Water

Steps
- Thinly slice the leek and set aside

- Roughly chop the carrots and potatoes and add into the pan, tossing to combine

This carrot cauliflower soup is seriously creamy, but it’s also super healthy which is a delightful bonus. You could stir through some cream at the end if you wanted to, but I don’t find that it needs it in the slightest. Use the best quality stock you can get your hands on given how simple the flavours are it can really make a difference.
This carrot cauliflower soup also freezes well, so it’s excellent to whip up on a Sunday afternoon then pop in the freezer for weekend lunches or cold evenings. Personally I love it with a cheese toastie on the side! In fact, I think that’s what I’ll have for dinner tonight!
