Ingredients
- Low calorie cooking spray*
- 3 leeks chopped
- 1 large cauliflower Florets only. Remove the stalk and discard.
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 large potato peeled and diced
- 1 L vegetable stock
- Freshly ground salt and pepper

Instructions
- Spray the bottom of a large saucepan about 7 to 8 times. Turn the heat on high underneath, then when the oil starts to bubble, turn the heat lower.
- Add the leeks, cauliflower and garlic. Sauté, stirring constantly for about 8 minutes until soft, but not burnt, or you will taint the taste of the soup.
- Add the dried thyme and stir in, then add the potato and sauté, again stirring for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the stock, bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft then remove from the heat.
- Either using a stick blender or an upright blender, blitz the soup to a pulp and return it to the saucepan.
- Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
- Serve garnished with the freshly chopped chives.
Notes
*You can substitute with 1 tablespoon olive oil if you don't have spray oil. This will change the nutritional label though.
