I know it’s not exactly soup season here right now but when a clean out the fridge dish turns out this delicious and pretty, I just have to share it with you! Extra creamy Leek, Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Crispy Herby Gnocchi 💚
Bonus: The ingredients list is quite short, and prepping is super easy as well! The herbs I used are the ones growing fresh on my balcony right now but feel free to replace them with your favorites!
Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Crispy Herby Gnocchi
Ingredients :
- You will need:
- 3 medium leeks
- 1 small head of cauliflower
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 small sweet onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 heaping tbsp vegan butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and (white) pepper to taste
Plus:
- 1 package potato gnocchi (500g)
- A handful of mixed herbs, chopped
- (I used parsley, chives, German thyme)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or vegan butter)
- Optional:
- A sprinkle of vegan mozzarella shreds
Method:
- Discard the outer layer of the leeks, as well as the dark green parts. Thinly slice it and add it to a bowl with water.
- After 5 minutes, drain, rinse, and set aside.
- Cut cauliflower into florets, and wash them thoroughly.
- Roughly chop peeled potatoes and celery, and dice onion and garlic.
- Heat up vegan butter and sauté onion until translucent, then add leek, celery and garlic, and sauté for 5 more minutes.
- Add cauliflower, potato, and broth.
- Bring soup to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Heat up oil or butter in a pan, and fry gnocchi until the start to turn golden and crispy. If using, add mozzarella, and toss until melted. Turn off the heat, and add chopped herbs.
- Transfer soup to a blender, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Season to taste with salt and (white) pepper.
- Top with gnocchi, some more herbs, and enjoy!
