This creamy cauliflower celeriac soup is comforting, delicious, and surprisingly simple to make. The blend of cauliflower, celeriac, and coconut milk creates a creamy base without any heavy cream, while the flaky pan-seared salmon on top adds protein and richness. It’s the perfect cozy soup for chilly days, light lunches, or an easy weeknight dinner - plus you can adapt it to be dairy-free, pescatarian, or vegetarian with just a few small tweaks.
Cut the leeks into small rings and heat a large soup pan where you melt the coconut oil. Add the leeks and cook for a few minutes until they become soft.

Notes
Storing: You can store the cauliflower celeriac soup in the fridge for 2-3 days. Keep the salmon and the fresh dill separate.You can also freeze the soup but I like to do that without the coconut milk as I find it changes the texture. Add the coconut milk after reheating and also keep the salmon separate.
