2 leeks (including 2 inches of green), trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 rib celery, with extra leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground ginger
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth, more if necessary
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 head cauliflower, cored and broken into florets
1 cup half-and-half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger, for garnish, optional
1. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise. Wash them well to remove the dirt. Pat dry and thinly slice crosswise.
2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add the leeks and celery, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the ground ginger, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
3. Add the broth, lemon juice, and cauliflower. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, partially covered, until the cauliflower is very tender, 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
4. Purée the soup in a food processor, adding the half-and-half through the feed tube. Add extra broth if necessary for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the hot, garnish with crystallized ginger.
