purple cauliflower soup

just like the regular kind, but prettier!

ingredients
1 head purple cauliflower, chopped
1 chopped potato
~3 small leeks, white and pale green parts only, chopped
butter
olive oil
coriander
oregano
paprika
salt & pepper
chicken stock
lime juice
tiny bit heavy cream

directions
seriously, this couldn't be easier:
saute leeks in butter & olive oil until soft but not brown.
add potato, cauliflower & spices.
add chicken stock and/or water, enough to cover.
bring to boil.
reduce heat, cover & simmer until cauliflower is tender.
adjust seasonings.
puree in blender.
add a tiny bit heavy cream and lime juice.

i am a sucker for purple food.

oh yeah, and check this out: when i squirted a little lime juice on the soup, it turned this gorgeous bright fuchsia color! dinner + chemistry!
