Keto Cauliflower Leek Soup
Let’s be real—nothing screams “culinary sophistication” like leeks and cauliflower pretending to be a five-star meal in a blender. This creamy keto soup looks like you tried hard, but spoiler: you didn’t. It’s plant-based, dairy-free, and totally vegan—because your gut and your jeans deserve better. You’ll sauté, simmer, and blend your way to soup glory faster than you can say “low-carb comfort.” Bonus: it’s elegant enough to impress your bougie friend but easy enough to make with a glass of wine in hand. Cozy up, soup queen—it’s leek week.
