<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Decided to make cauliflower soup. This simple dish is healthy, filling, and good for a chilly Spring day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1 Cauliflower Head broken into florets.<\/p>\n

2 large leeks (mostly the white part but a little bit of green<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Slice the leeks. I use about 4 cups of leeks for this recipe. I like the onion taste with the cauliflower and I also like the soup a little thicker.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Heat two tablespoons of Olive Oil and two tablespoons of butter in a large pan or soup kettle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Saute leeks until tender on medium low heat. Do not allow to brown.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Place cauliflower –stem side down — on top of leeks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pour 4 cups (1 32 oz. package) no salt vegetable or chicken stock over cauliflower. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until cauliflower is very tender.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Using an immersible blender mix the cauliflower and leeks together until smooth. I leave some smaller chunks in the soup as I like the consistency.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Add White Pepper to taste. I add a fair amount.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Add one cup of milk and stir until blended. Reheat soup being careful not to let it boil.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Serve in soup bowls and garnish with snipped fresh chives and chive flowers\/buds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Serve with some warm homemade bread and a glass of your favorite wine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
