Chop the white and light green parts of 3 to 4 leeks, not worrying about evenness.

Chop the cauliflower into chunks, removing the green bits first.

Saute the chopped leeks in butter or olive oil until soft.

Add the chopped cauliflower to the pan with the leeks once they are soft.

Cover the leeks and cauliflower with water, about 1.5 liters, until the cauliflower starts to float.

Boil the mixture until the cauliflower is soft, checking with a knife.

Blend the mixture in batches, adding a little water to the blender first for easier blending.

Return the blended soup to the pan and mix until creamy.

Add a pinch of nutmeg and taste the soup, adjusting salt as needed.
