There’s nothing like a hearty soup to keep you warm in the frigid weather of winter. Frankly, I’ve been trying just about everything to keep out of the cold and to brace myself through until spring. A savory tea infused soup Recipe that I call “Creamy Leek Tea Soup” not only is delicious and creamy but it also warms my soul and quenches my need to include the wonderful beverage of tea in just about everything.
In this article, you will find the ingredients for and simple instructions on how to make Creamy Leek Tea Soup. This Recipe is quick and will only take about 20 minutes to prepare. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3 cups of Leaks (2 large leeks), ends removed and roughly chopped
Numi Organics Savory Tea - 1 Spinach Chive Bag (8 ounces of steeped tea)
1 medium-sized Cauliflower (4-5 cups), chopped
1 cup of Onion, chopped
3 cups of Chicken Broth
1 cup of Coconut Milk

Step 4: Add Onions, Chicken Broth, Tea, Coconut Milk and Butter to the soup pot.
Step 5: Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Leeks are so fragrant and they jazz up just about any dish. To me they look like a giant’s green onion (lol).
We are no strangers to cauliflower at Tea End Blog; I’ve become some-what obsessed with the vegetable. In a recent Tea End Blog Recipe, I blended a purple cauliflower with another savory tea from Numi Organics Savory Teas and made a cheesy purple purée that was delicious!
