Cauliflower Soup With Almonds
Submitted by: Chris
 This soup looks thick but doesn't taste at all heavy. In fact, it has an almost billowy texture, but with enough substance to still be satisfying. The addition of just a small amount of toasted almonds adds some crunch to the equation.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 medium , Leek
  • 1 teaspoon(s) , Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Water
  • 1 whole , Head Cauliflower
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) , Chicken Broth
  • 1 1/4 cup(s) , Milk
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon(s) , Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) , Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon(s) , Almonds

Instructions:
Wash leek slices in a bowl of cold water, agitating, then lift out and pat dry.
Melt butter with water in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Add cauliflower and leek and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower begins to soften (do not let brown), about 5 minutes. Add coriander and cook, stirring, 1 minute, then add broth, milk, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and gently simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
While soup is cooking, toast almonds in a dry skillet over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 3 minutes.
Purée soup in 2 batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids) until very smooth. Serve soup topped with almonds.
Cooks' note:
Soup can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Almonds can be toasted 2 days ahead and kept separately in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat soup before serving.
