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.
