Lauren K. shared what she made with her leek's from Native Son Farm this week: a rich, creamy soup packed with veggies and lots of flavor. Thanks, Lauren!
Ingredients:
Cashews
Leeks
Carrots
Sweet Potato
Cauliflower
Coconut oil
Stock
Cashews
Raisins
Ginger
Spices (curry powder, turmeric, black pepper)
Soak three large handfuls cashews in 1-2 cups water (I used whey from yoghurt making but then soup is no longer vegan).
Roughly chop leeks while melting a good amount of coconut oil (or oil of choice - about 2+ tbs) medium heat. Sauté/sweat leeks.
Peel and roughly chop 8-10 large carrots. Sauté with leeks.
Peel and chop one medium to large sweet potato. Stir into leeks and carrots.
Sprinkle in black pepper, curry powder and turmeric to liking. I used about a tablespoon of curry powder and a few shakes of turmeric. Stir in the veggie mix (this is why you wanted so much oil in the beginning). It's OK if veggies burn a little, if it's burning a lot add some water.
Cut florets from half a head of cauliflower and add to veggies in pan. Sauté it all a few more minutes to coat cauliflower in spices.
Add in stock of your choice (I used homemade crawfish-beef stock) to cover veggies. Add in a handful of raisins or two.
Simmer until veggies are tender.
Peel and slice about two inches of ginger and add to soaking cashews then blend (I used a Nutribullet). Add to soup and stir in.
Let cool and blend.
