Curry Cauliflower and Leek Comfort Soup

What to do when you have an abundance of cauliflower and leeks?  Add bacon and curry and make a yummy, nutritious soup of course.   Bacon is great with everything so I thought..."why not in a cauliflower soup?"  If you like baked potato chowder soups then I think you will really like this cauliflower based soup, the cauliflower lends a texture that is similar to that of a cooked potato and the bacon, well bacon makes everything amazing...just add leeks and a touch of curry and this soup will keep you full and satisfied.

Pancetta and Turnip Soup

Turnips and mustard greens are two things I have honestly never used in any of my cooking.  I have always wanted to experiment with them but was a bit skeptical.  So when our local CSA box contained those two things and a soup recipe to experiment with I just had to try it out and it was amazing!  I had some pancetta in my fridge that needed used and it worked out wonderfully, great comfort soup.  Try it out even if you think there is no way you would ever eat turnips I dare you to...triple dog dare you.
