Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole heads garlic
  • 1 medium cauliflower head chopped into bite size pieces
  • 4 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup leeks, chopped about 1 large leek
  • 2 medium red potatoes peeled & diced
  • 1.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • chives, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice 1/4 inch off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place each head of garlic onto a small piece of tin foil and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Wrap each in foil and place directly onto the lower rack in the oven. Roast for 35-40 minutes until garlic is slightly browned on top and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Cut off the root end and thick dark green parts of the leeks. Cut them in half lengthwise and rinse under cold water, peeling the layers apart. Leeks can have grit tucked inside so it is important to clean between the layers!
  • Chop the leeks into bite size pieces. In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cumin. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the cauliflower is cooked through and golden brown, stirring halfway.
  • While cauliflower and garlic are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sized pot. Add the leek and cook over medium heat until soft and wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add whole milk and heat for another 1-2 minutes to bring up to temperature.
  • Carefully add mixture to a blender. Set aside a few pieces of the roasted cauliflower to place on top of the soup (optional) and add the remaining to the blender.
  • When garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the bulbs and add the soft garlic to the blender. Blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary. Add more milk to your desired consistency. Garnish with chives. Enjoy!
