CAULIFLOWER LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains.
• Coarsely chop them when washed.
• In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add broth, leeks, and cauliflower and bring to a boil.
• Cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes, until cauliflower is soft.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately.

CAULIFLOWER, LEEK AND GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer.
• Add the cauliflower and garlic and simmer until the potatoes, cauliflower and garlic are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency with water and seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with the parsley and a few grinds of pepper.
