Cream of Cauliflower and Leek Soup image

We love these warm cream soups during the winter, they are definitely a comfort food. I didn't want to use potatoes in my soup due to the starchy content, so thought I'd come up with a soup that uses a different vegetable that is often substituted for potato in raw recipes. This soup is very tasty and would go great with a piece of home made bread or crackers.
