Potato, Leek & Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients:
1 lb Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled as well as cubed
iii or iv leeks, sliced (white parts only!)
1 pocket-sized caput cauliflower, broken into florets
six cups chicken or ham stock
ii garlic cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 loving cup cubed smoked ham*

Directions:
In a large pot or dutch oven, oestrus the olive crude as well as butter. Saute the Irish Gaelic patato until simply turning golden. Add the garlic, cauliflower, leeks. Saute a few minutes simply until the leeks commencement to soften. Pour inwards the broth as well as spices. Simmer until the liquid has reduced a combat as well as the potatoes as well as cauliflower are soft as well as starting to autumn apart. Meanwhile, lightly chocolate-brown the ham on all sides inwards a dry, nonstick skillet. Using an immersion blender or run inwards batches using a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir inwards the ham. Heat for twain minutes.

*I used i of those boneless ham steaks that are ever on sale. Leftover ham would last proficient too.

My thoughts:
This is form of a twist on the classic potato-leek soup. Cauliflower tin last somewhat of a polarizing gene but inwards this soup, it is mild as well as adds trunk as well as creaminess. I don't similar soups that are alone smoothen therefore afterward blending it, I stirred inwards roughly ham that I had sauteed (to deepen the flavor) therefore at that topographic point was roughly texture contrast. Of course, if you lot wanted to larn out it out as well as role H2O instead of stock, it would brand a wonderful vegan soup. At whatsoever rate, it is a bully agency to larn your daily dose of vegetables on a mutual frigidness winter's night.
