6 medium leeks, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, preferably lemon thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 small head of cauliflower, sliced
3 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons dijon mustard

3/4 cup whole milk
salt to taste

1
Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the leeks, salt and thyme and slowly cook over medium heat until the leeks are very soft - about 45 minutes.
2
Add the chicken broth, cauliflower slices, mustard and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes.
3
Process until smooth in a food processor and pour the puree into a pot. Reheat and add the milk. Adjust the seasoning and add a squeeze of lemon juice if needed. Serve as is or with minced chives and crouton on top.
4
To make the croutons, I tore pieces of bread from a fresh loaf, tossed them in enough olive oil and minced garlic to lightly coat them and roasted them in a 400F oven until crispy - about 15 minutes.
