Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
2 leeks white and light green parts, diced
1 celery stick diced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
3 garlic cloves minced
4 cups cauliflower diced
4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes peeled, diced
3.5 cups vegetable broth more, as needed
½ cup coconut milk or non-dairy milk
pinch salt
pinch black pepper optional

Instructions

Drizzle olive oil in a large pot, and cook the diced leeks and celery on a low heat for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, dried thyme and rosemary and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Tip in the diced cauliflower and potato and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Pour in the coconut milk and cook the soup for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potato is very soft and fork tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup, or transfer in batches to a food processor. Season with salt and black pepper (if using), and ladle into your serving bowls.

Notes

This is quite a thick cauliflower potato soup so if you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more vegetable broth.
If you prefer not to use coconut milk, swap for a non-dairy milk that works for you or omit and use extra vegetable broth.
For a more fragrant soup, add a sprinkle more of the thyme or rosemary.
