Winter day soup

I had some leeks needing to be used up, some cauliflower that had sat in the fridge too long and some sweet potatoes that I was too tired of making chips from. So what does one do? Make a soup that's perfect for an evening that threw an unexpected winters mix at us.

What I had:

• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into inch pieces
• 2 leeks, all the whites and an inch of the green parts chopped
• Coconut oil
• Cumin, salt and paprika to taste
• Parsley for garnish
• 4 chicken bullion cubes, in 4 cups boiling water
• 2 cups coconut water
• 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

What I did:

• Heat up 2 tbsp coconut oil in a heavy skillet, add leeks till soft
• Add the cauliflower and sweet potato and pour the chicken broth in
• Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then add coconut milk and flakes
• Let this cook for 10 minutes till the vegetables are soft
• Transfer the entire thing to a blender and blend till almost liquid (I like some pieces in my soup for texture)
• Transfer back to skillet, add the spices to taste
• Serve with some cilantro 

When the 3 year old eats something without complaint, it's a big win for me!
