Ingredients
Recipe yields 8 servings
2 leeks (dark stems discarded), coarsely chopped
1 medium head cauliflower, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp salt
1 russet potato, peeled and chopped

Directions
Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the leeks, cauliflower, shallots, garlic, olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. On a baking sheet, arrange the vegetable mixture and roast for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the roasted vegetables, potato, vegetable broth, coconut milk, thyme and black pepper to taste and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Soup will be thick. Add water to reach desired consistency, if necessary.

Step 3

Using an immersion blender (or regular blender), blend the soup until smooth. Season with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with scallions and fresh parsley, if desired.
