Preparation time: 10 min.   Total time: 30 min.

Ingredients (for 4 people) :

  • 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 small leeks, thinly sliced 
  • 1 small potato, peeled and quartered
  • 90cl vegetable stock 
  • 125gr Gorgonzola cheese, diced
  • salt and pepper

Preparation :

Cooking the vegetables: Place the cauliflower, leeks and potato in a saucepan. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.  Season with salt and pepper and cover. Cook for about 15min, until the vegetables are tender.
To make the velouté: Pass the contents of the saucepan through a food mill (or purée grinder), using a fine or coarse grating, depending on the desired consistency. Return to the pan. 
Finishing: Bring the velouté to a simmer. Remove from the heat, and immediately add the gorgonzola, stirring to melt. Divide between serving bowls and serve immediately. 

Tips:

Replace the gorgonzola with Roquefort or Dolcelatte (Italian blue cheese, milder than gorgonzola).
Use broccoli instead of cauliflower
