Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks, white portion only
1 -2 head cauliflower, outer leaves andstalks removed and florets separated into 1-inch pieces
3 cups unsalted chicken stock or 3 cups vegetable stock
3 cups heavy cream
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon finely ground toasted coriander seed
