Loaded Chilled Cauliflower-Leek Soup
This delicious chilled cauliflower leek soup is perfect for those warm summer evenings when you can’t imagine standing over a hot stove.
Ingredients
- 3 large leeks, sliced white part only
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small chunks 3-4 whole garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 c. chicken broth, divided
- 1 t. ground cinnamon
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 oz. goat cheese 4 oz. cream cheese
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- Optional toppings:
- 3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ c. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- Edible flowers
Instructions
- Add leeks, cauliflower, garlic, chicken broth, and cinnamon to Instant Pot. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Add lid and lock into place. Switch vent to “Sealing” position and set the “Manual” setting on high before adjusting the cook time to 9 minutes. After a brief pause, the Instant Pot will automatically start building pressure.
- When finished cooking, do a quick release (QR) to allow the pressure to escape. Unlock and carefully remove lid. Add goat cheese, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar to the container and stir until cheese is completely melted.
- Blend mixture with immersion blender until smooth (or transfer to blender or food processor if you don’t have an immersion blender). Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
- Transfer soup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until chilled.
- To serve, transfer to individual serving bowls and top with crumbled bacon, green onions, grated cheddar cheese, or edible flowers, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: If you don’t care for the distinctive tangy flavour of goat cheese, try substituting ricotta, mascarpone, or additional cream cheese in its place.
