Preparation
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the riced cauliflower, leeks, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the leeks just begin to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and 2 cups (480 ml) of non-dairy milk. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is completely broken down and tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus, peas, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the vegetables are bright green with some crunch. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and basil. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan and add the potatoes and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch (1 ¼ cm). Season with 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
- Remove the pot with the cauliflower from the heat. Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth and creamy. Add up to 1 cup (240 ml) non-dairy milk or water if needed to thin to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the reserved asparagus, peas, potatoes, and the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Enjoy!

I used half-and-half instead of non-dairy milk, I didn’t add it until after I had puréed the base (to avoid curdling). For the base, I added celery, extra leeks & some of the diced potato; I left out the peas & added sliced mushrooms & diced zucchini to the asparagus. Don’t forget plenty of fresh basil, lemon zest & the juice: it makes it so bright!! Delish!

I added soy milk way to early and it split/curdled. Next time I’d add my non dairy milk at the end, when the heat is off, right before the immersion blender. It was yummy tho!

I added corn as well with the asparagus and peas! Additionally, I topped with crispy bacon. YUM!
