Roasted leek and cauliflower soup with green apple vinaigrette
Roast
Roasting
Happy New Year! I do not know about you but I am flush with resolutions and to-do lists. My sister and her two children have been here for the last three weeks and it has been like vacation. I have ignored everything from emails to phone calls (well, at least non-urgent ones) to house work. We have spoiled ourselves with celebratory parties and evenings out, as well as nights in with Boardwalk Empire and bourbon. Our children, best cousins, have traipsed along the shore where we spent our childhood summers; ice-skated at the only rink on our island, rung in the New Year with lilikoi juice, and generally run amok. Now that they are gone, (it has only been an hour), it is back to the normal rhythm and a detox is in order. I’ve been thinking about leeks all week but have not had the opportunity to experiment until now. It has been cool, windy, and wet, and leek soup is the first thing that popped in my head. Cauliflower adds some body to the soup while calvados adds some depth and half-and-half some richness (did I say detox?). The green apple vinaigrette finishes the soup with a punch of sweet and tart.
