Cheddar Cauliflower Soup image

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

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but I really liked this soup. The cauliflower flavor is very subtle and it's not at all overpowering.
