Ingredients

  • 2 leeks sliced, white and light green parts
  • 1 head cauliflower chopped into small florets, 4 cups / 634 grams
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced, 1 cup/98 grams
  • 1 sweet potato large, cubed, 1 1/2 cups
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method

  • Preheat the KitchenAid(R) Dual Fuel Convection Slide-In Range to 425° F.
  • Place the sliced leeks in a large bowl filled with water. Allow the sliced leeks to soak for 5 minutes to remove all dirt. Drain the leeks and rinse them with fresh water.
  • Place the cauliflower, red bell pepper, sweet potatoes, leeks and garlic on a baking sheet. Gently toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the vegetables in the oven for 40 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
  • Once the vegetables are soft, spoon the vegetables into the KitchenAid(R) Pro Line(R) Series Blender along with the vegetable broth and dried thyme. Blend the soup on high for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and add the olive oil. Blend on medium speed for another minute.
  • Serve the soup warm with an extra drizzle of olive oil (optional).
  • Refrigerate the soup in an airtight container for 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
