Cauliflower is often last on the list of vegetables my family will eat, but they adore this creamy, savory soup with tender leeks and shredded cheddar cheese. If you puree the soup in a blender, be sure to work in batches leave some space between the lid and the jar for steam to escape. —Kristin Rimkus, Snohomish, Washington

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 cups thinly sliced leeks (white portion only)
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 carton (32 ounces) vegetable broth
1 can (12 ounces) reduced-fat evaporated milk

Additional shredded sharp cheddar cheese and minced fresh thyme, optional

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add leeks; cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in cauliflower, thyme, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.

Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or, cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender; return to pan. Add evaporated milk and cheese; cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. If desired, sprinkle each serving with additional cheese and thyme.
