Paleo Recipe: Soups
Last week we had a few cool, rainy days here in Upstate NY and so I was on the prowl for an awesome paleo recipe that would warm us up.
Scott had been working outside in the rain all day last Monday so I wanted something to give him that would warm him up after a long, cool and damp day.
One of the things I like about this recipe is that it is almost just a base for whatever you want to put in it! I made it one way, but then thought that it would taste amazing with bacon in it! I have yet to make it that way but wanted to inspire your creative side!
And the layers of flavor will amaze you……..
Cauliflower Leek Soup with Mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 pound of mushrooms, I used baby bellas
- 3 leeks – slice the white and light green for use
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 4 slices bacon (optional, but probably spectacular!)
- coconut oil
- dab of grass fed butter
- sea salt and pepper
Instructions:
- If using bacon, fry in frying pan until slightly crispy. Chop into small pieces and set aside. Keep bacon grease.
- Sautee mushrooms in 1/3 of the bacon grease. If you need more oil (or are not using bacon) then add coconut oil. Set aside when cooked.
- In a stockpot, add the remainder of the bacon grease and some additional coconut oil.
- Add garlic and leeks and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Add cauliflower and chicken broth to the leeks and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
- Remove from heat and, in batches, add to blender to puree until smooth.
- Return to pot and stir in mushrooms and bacon.
- Add a dab of butter and some sea salt and pepper and you are ready to go!

They look like it wouldn’t taste like much, but the flavor is AMAZING. And the best part about it is that the soup is sort of a blank slate and you can add to it whatever you want at that particular time. Love it!
I can’t wait to make this recipe in the fall! Looks so tasty
And it is!
This looks delicious! I love a good thick soup on a cold day and this fits the bill and the ingredients I have. Thanks

Hi Susan,
