Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

A surprisingly delicious soup from EatingWell.com.

• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• 2 large leeks, sliced
  
• 4 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  
• 2 1/2 cups milk (I used almond)
  
• 2 cups water
  
• a pinch of black pepper
  
• 3 tbsp flour
  
• 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese
  
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

1. In a large pan, heat the oil and leeks until leeks soften. Add cauliflower, 2 cups milk, water, and pepper and bring to a boil.
   
2. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is soft, ~5-8 minutes.
   
3. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup milk and flour in a small bowl. Stir in this mix once the cauliflower is soft.
   
4. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
   
5. Remove from the heat. Stir in cheese and lemon juice.
