Cauliflower Soup

Our first dish for the VegOut! Challenge's Virtual Veggie Potluck is Cauliflower Soup, a favorite from Cooks Country .  Elegant in it's simplicity:

1 onion

1 leek

4 tablespoons of butter

4 cups water

head of fresh cauliflower

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Chop onion and slice leek thinly.  Cut cauliflower head in half; remove tough stalk and chop.  Melt the butter in a soup pot set over medium-high heat and sauté onions and leeks until they are translucent.  Add the water, 1/2 cauliflower and salt; cook 15 minutes, or until tender.  Stir; add rest of the cauliflower and cook 15 minutes longer.  Remove from heat and puree with a stick blender.

I have topped it here with crisped julienne of Brussels sprouts and a spicy toasted nut mix, serving with a Barbaresco.
