1. Cheddar- Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 large leeks, light parts sliced and rinsed
4 cups chopped cauliflower florets
2 1/2 cups low- fat milk, divided
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp all- purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shredded extra- sharp cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice


Directions:
Heat the oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and stir for about 5 minutes, until soft.
Add cauliflower, 2 cups of milk, water, bay leaf, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium- high heat, stirring often.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is soft, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup milk and flour in a small bowl.
When the cauliflower is soft, remove the bay leaf and stir in the milk mixture. Cook over medium- high heat, stirring, until the soup has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes more.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese and lemon juice.

Serves six.
