Creamy Cauliflower and Leek Soup with Toasted Sesame
This soup is incredibly simple, comes together super fast, and honestly? It’s just delicious. 😍
About 500g of cauliflower
Half a leek
2-3 tablespoons of sesame seeds
Heavy cream
Salt and pepper
Cook the veggies until they're soft enough that you could mash them easily with a fork, but don't let them turn into complete mush. About 15 minutes in boiling water should do the trick.
While that's happening, toast your sesame seeds in a pan—just watch them closely! You don't want them to get dark, or they'll taste burnt. Once they look good, pop them into a grinder (if you don't have one handy, a coffee grinder works perfectly fine too).
Throw everything into a blender and add some of the cooking liquid to help it get that silky-smooth consistency.
Pour it back into the pot and put it over the heat to simmer for a bit. You can add more of that cooking water depending on how thick you want it. Then, stir in the heavy cream—again, just go by your own taste. Give it all a good stir so the flavors really meld together and thicken up. Finally, sprinkle in those crushed sesame seeds and finish with salt and pepper.
It’s so good. 😍
If you want to pack in some extra protein: Post-workout vibes! I had some cottage cheese earlier, so paired with this, it felt like a totally complete dinner. 🙂
