This delicious chilled soup is perfect for those warm summer evenings when you can’t imagine standing over a hot stove. For a beautiful change of pace, consider topping with colorful edible flowers rather than the more traditional bacon and cheddar shown here.

It’s a hot summer day and who wants to cook? Not me. Loaded Cauliflower-Leek Soup is served chilled and I would pair this lucious soup with your favorite toasted sandwich. I like it with a grilled Ruben sandwich with lots of swiss cheese, canned corned beef and sauerkraut. But then, I crave cheese like the cookie monster crazes Oreos… lol.

I fell in love with leeks years ago when an old boyfriend of mine cooked dinner for me one evening. Along with the meat he fixed creamed leeks. That was it! I was hooked. … but not with the boyfriend… lol…

Tip: If you don’t care for the distinctive tangy flavor of goat cheese, try substituting ricotta, mascarpone, or additional cream cheese in its place.
